背景技术
随着第五代(5th generation,5G)移动通信等移动网络技术的发展,越来越多的终端设备需要进行移动网络的连接。终端设备在接入网络时,往往有多个小区可供选择,因此终端设备需要在多个小区中选出合适的小区进行无线网络连接。
目前的小区选择技术中,终端设备需要搜索终端设备所处的网络环境中的小区及其对应的功率,然后按照搜索结果对网络环境中覆盖最好的小区进行捕获,同时对该小区进行帧同步,并获取该小区的物理小区身份标识号(identity document,ID)。然后终端设备读取小区系统消息并对小区的信号强度和信号质量进行测量,从而判断该小区是否满足驻留条件。
现有的多小区选择方案中,终端设备测量小区的信号质量的步骤繁杂,且需要进行精确的参数计算,因此对终端设备测量需求高,不适合低复杂设计、能力受限的终端设备。

为了方便理解本申请实施例的技术方案,首先给出本申请相关技术的简要介绍如下:
第一、射频识别(radio-frequency identification,RFID)技术:
RFID技术是一种非接触式的自动识别技术。在RFID系统通常包括读写器(reader/interrogator)和标签(tag),通过读写器与标签之间的信息交互,读写器可以对标签进行管理。
在RFID系统中,读写器可以对标签进行选择(select)、盘存(inventory)和访问(access)等操作。选择操作用于为盘存和访问选择一个或一组标签。盘存操作可以理解为读写器识别标签的过程。访问操作可以理解为读写器与标签交互的过程。标签在访问前需要被读写器识别。
示例性的,读写器对标签进行选择、盘存、访问的流程可以如图1所示。参见图1,该流程包括如下步骤:
101、读写器向标签发送选择(select)命令。
读写器向标签发送选择(select)命令,该select命令可以用于选择一个或一组标签。
示例性的,该select命令可以包括内存信息,内存信息指示的存储区中存储的数据与Mask值一致的标签为该select命令选择的标签。
102、读写器向标签发送询问(Query)命令/询问调整(QueryAdjust)命令/询问代表(QueryRep)命令。
读写器向标签发送Query命令/QueryAdjust命令/QueryRep命令。
对于读写器选择的多个标签,通过时分复用的方式进行盘存访问,即读写器结束对一个标签的盘存访问后,开始下一个标签的盘存访问。下述步骤以对1个标签的盘存访问为例进行说明。
步骤101-步骤102可以理解为读写器对标签的选择操作。在选择操作完成后,读写器可以对标签进行如下盘存操作。
103、标签发送RN16给读写器。
在标签启动的时隙计数器为0的情况下,响应于读写器发送的命令,标签发送16位随机数(RN16)给读写器。
一种可能的实现方式中,在标签启动的时隙计数器不为0的情况下,标签并不会发送RN16给读写器。
104、读写器发送确认消息给标签。
若读写器成功接收标签发送的RN16,则读写器发送确认(acknowledgment,ACK)消息给标签。该消息中包括该随机数RN16。
105、标签向读写器发送产品电子码(electronic product code,EPC)。
标签在接收到读写器发送的确认消息后,在确认消息携带的随机数RN16与步骤103中发送的随机数RN16相匹配的情况下,标签向读写器发送产品电子码。
步骤103-步骤105可以理解为读写器对标签的盘存操作。在盘存操作完成后,读写器可以对标签进行如下访问操作:
106、读写器发送Req_RN指令给标签。
读写器发送Req_RN指令给标签,该Req_RN指令中包括与上述步骤中相同的RN16。
107、标签向读写器发送handle信息。
在接收到读写器发送的包括RN16的Req_RN后,在读写器发送的RN16与之前的标签生成的RN16一致或匹配的情况下,标签向读写器发送handle信息。
一种可能的实现方式中,在读写器发送的RN16与之前的标签生成的RN16不一致或不匹配的情况下,标签不向读写器反馈handle信息。
108、读写器向标签发送访问命令。
在接收到标签发送的handle信息后,读写器向标签发送访问命令,该访问命令中包括步骤107中的handle信息。
109、标签向读写器发送响应信息。
在接收到读写器向标签发送的访问命令后,标签验证该访问命令携带的handle是否与步骤107中标签向读写器发送的handle一致。若验证通过即一致,则标签向读写器发送响应信息;若验证不 通过即不一致,则标签向读写器发送错误通知,该错误通知指示该访问命令携带的handle与步骤107中标签向读写器发送的handle不一致。
以上只是示例,读写器和标签之间还包括其他类型的操作,具体可以参考RFID系统的相关描述,本申请在此不再赘述。
上述标签即RFID标签。标签可以分为无源标签、半有源标签和有源标签。对于无源标签,其工作的能量由读写器提供,例如,读写器发送的连续波(continuous wave,CW)的部分能量用于标签的编解码、调制解调等内部处理,此外,该连续波还作为载波用于承载标签的上行信息。对于半无源标签,其内部可以包括电池,编解码、调制解调等内部处理可以借助电池供电,但仍然需要读写器的连续波作为载波。
上述读写器是具有读写功能的设备,例如,可以是读取或写入标签信息的设备。或者,读写器可以理解为与标签通信的设备。形态可以为终端设备,也可以是基站,或者是一个具有读写功能的设备。示例性的,在分离式架构下,如图2所示,读写器可以包括辅助器(helper)和接收器(receiver)。其中,helper到标签的链路可以称为前向链路或下行链路,标签到receiver的链路可以称为反向链路或上行链路,receiver到helper的链路可以称为前传下行链路,helper到receiver的链路可以称为前传上行链路。本申请中,helper也可以称为激励源。
示例性的,helper主要用于在前向链路上向标签发送连续波,标签发送的信号由receiver在反向链路上接收。此外,receiver可以生成RFID信令,通过前传下行链路发送至helper,再由helper通过前向链路转发至标签。
在RFID系统中,标签设计简单,应用层和空口信令杂糅到一起设计。而且标签仅支持微瓦级或者百微瓦级的功耗,因此不能支持复杂的设计,也不支持复杂的测量。同时多标签与读写器通信时,通常采用时分复用的方式,多标签采用串行读取方式,因此并不支持频域和码域的区分,并行性能较差。因此标签的通信方案需要简单直接,不能有太过复杂的测量和计算。
第二、无线资源管理(radio resource management,RRM):
无线网络以小区为单位进行部署,每个小区都有自己的覆盖范围。终端设备开机后,需要通过小区选择过程,选择一个合适的小区进行驻留,才能从无线网络获取服务。同时终端设备是不断移动的,如果终端设备移动出了当前服务小区的覆盖范围,进入了新小区,那么终端设备需要进行小区重选,驻留在新的小区上,以获得更优质的服务。小区选择和小区重选过程,都属于无线资源管理的范畴。无线资源管理是蜂窝移动通信系统必备的机制,能够辅助新空口(new radio,NR)实现负载均衡,为用户提供更好的体验以及提高系统整体性能。小区选择/重选都是终端设备自主的行为,终端设备通过测量服务小区和邻区的信号质量,自主的选择信号质量更好/优先级更高的小区进行驻留。
1、小区选择技术:小区选择一共可以分为4个过程:扫频、小区搜索、解系统消息和驻留。
扫频可以包括:按照终端设备支持的制式和频段,搜索终端设备所处的网络环境中覆盖的小区及其功率。如果终端设备之前存储过频点信息,那么就会跳过扫频流程,直接进行小区搜索。只有在初始小区选择的时候,才会按照终端设备能力支持的Band,进行扫Band流程。示例性的,在扫频过程中,无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)层给物理层发送扫Band请求,物理层上报该频段下扫到的频点。RRC层收到频点后,会构造一个用于小区搜索的频点列表。
小区搜索是在扫频结束后按照扫频结果对网络环境中覆盖最好的小区进行捕获,对该小区进行帧同步、时隙同步和获取物理小区标识的过程。小区搜索的目的是利用主同步信号(primary synchronization signal,PSS)和辅同步信号(secondary synchronization signal,SSS)获得帧同步和时隙同步。
解系统消息和小区驻留是在小区搜索完成后读取小区系统消息并对小区信号强度、信号质量进行测量,判断该小区是否满足驻留条件的过程。
小区驻留,判断该小区是否满足驻留条件通常是判断该小区的小区选择接收值和小区选择质量值是否都大于零,其中,
小区选择接收值=P1-P2-P3-P4-P5;其中,P1为小区的参考信号接收功率(reference signal received power,RSRP),P2为小区中要求的最小接收强度,P3为对应最小接收强度的偏移值,P4为临时偏移量,P5=max(P6-P7,0)-(min(P8,P7)-min(P6,P7))或P5=max(P6-P7,0),其中P7为终端设备功率等级决定的最大射频发射功率,P6和P8为终端设备在小区中允许的最大上 行发射功率,分别从不同的系统消息中获得。
小区选择质量值=S1-S2-S3-S4;其中,S1为小区的参考信号接收质量(reference signal received quality,RSRQ),S2为小区中最小RSRQ接收强度要求,S3为对应最小RSRQ的偏移值,S4为临时偏移量。
2、小区重选技术:
小区重选可以分为同频小区重选和异频小区重选,同频小区重选是指在与当前服务小区相同的频率上进行的小区重选,不涉及频点的优先级处理。异频小区重选包括异频小区重选以及异系统小区重选,需要结合频点的优先级信息来进行最优小区判断。
对于同频小区重选,终端设备对于当前服务小区和相邻小区的信号质量进行计算测量并排序,选择其中信号质量最好的小区作为新的驻留小区。
在小区选择接收值大于小区选择接收值阈值,且小区选择质量值大于小区选择质量值阈值的情况下,终端设备可以不启动同频测量。
对于异频小区重选,终端设备先获取当前服务小区和相邻小区的优先级信息,然后再对当前服务小区和相邻小区的信号质量进行计算测量并排序。对于优先级低的小区,相应地会增加判断是否满足小区选择条件的阈值,从而增加高优先级小区的权重,然后选择其中满足信号质量标准的最高优先级小区作为重新选择出来驻留的小区。
上述小区选择技术和小区重选技术,主要是针对具有一定处理能力的终端设备而设计的,对终端设备的处理能力要求较高,需要终端设备对邻区的小区质量进行评估,需要精确且复杂的参数测量,而低复杂设计、能力受限的终端设备(例如标签)无法支持精确的参数测量,因此,该技术对于低复杂设计、能力受限的终端设备(例如标签)并不友好。此外,对于标签而言,若采用上述小区选择技术会带来较大的开销,影响标签接入效率,进一步影响小区的容量。
基于此,本申请实施例提供了一种小区选择方法,该方法中,终端设备不用进行复杂的测量计算即可确定目标小区是否为可驻留小区,降低了对于终端设备的数据处理能力要求,减少了终端设备的测量开销,步骤简单灵活,可以适用于标签等低复杂设计、能力受限的终端设备。
本申请提供的技术方案可用于各种通信系统,该通信系统可以为第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project,3GPP)通信系统,例如,第四代(4th generation,4G)长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统、第五代(5th generation,5G)新无线(new radio,NR)系统、车联网(vehicle to everything,V2X)系统、LTE和NR混合组网的系统、或者设备到设备(device-to-device,D2D)系统、机器到机器(machine to machine,M2M)通信系统、物联网(Internet of Things,IoT)、无源IoT(passive IoT,PIoT),以及其他下一代通信系统等。或者,该通信系统也可以为非3GPP通信系统,例如无线局域网(wireless local area network,WLAN),不予限制。
本申请实施例提供的一种示例性的通信系统。该通信系统可以包括终端设备和接入网设备。终端设备可以位于接入网设备提供的覆盖范围内。
可选的,终端设备,又称之为用户设备(user equipment,UE)、移动台(mobile station,MS)、移动终端设备(mobile terminal,MT)和终端等,是指向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备。例如,具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、车载设备等。目前,一些终端设备的举例为:手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、掌上电脑、移动互联网设备(mobile internet device,MID)、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(industrial control)中的无线终端设备、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线终端设备、远程手术(remote medical surgery)中的无线终端设备、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端设备、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端设备、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端设备、智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端设备、或标签等。
可选的,标签可以看成一种低复杂设计、能力受限终端设备。终端设备可以为无源终端设备,即终端设备工作时所需的能量和载波可以由接入网设备提供,例如无源标签就可以看做是一种无源终端设备。当然,终端设备也可以为有源或半无源终端设备,本申请对此不作具体限定。
可选的,接入网设备,是指将终端设备接入到无线网络的无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)节点(或设备),又可以称为基站(base station,BS)。目前,一些RAN节点的举例为:继续演进的节点B(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)等。另外,在一种网络结构中,接入网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。其中包括CU节点和DU节点的RAN设备将长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统中eNB的协议层拆分开,部分协议层的功能放在CU集中控制,剩下部分或全部协议层的功能分布在DU中,由CU集中控制DU。

如图5所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种小区选择方法,该通信方法包括如下步骤:
501、终端设备获取目标小区的目标信号。
可选的,该目标信号可用于终端设备确定该目标小区的信号质量。
具体地,本申请实施例中,终端设备获取的目标信号是目标小区所属的目标接入网设备发送的,即该步骤501可以包括:目标接入网设备发送目标信号,终端设备接收目标接入网设备发送的目标信号。即终端设备获取信号可以理解为终端设备接收信号。
本申请实施例中该目标信号包括信标(Beacon)、参考信号、同步信号、系统消息或下行数据等,具体此处不作限定。
502、终端设备确定连续成功获取的目标信号的数量。
一种实现方式中,终端可以通过判断接收目标信号的时间间隔来判断是否确认为连续成功接收,比如,成功接收目标信号间隔时间大于时间阈值,则判断为非连续接收;成功接收目标信号间隔时间小于或等于时间阈值,则判断为连续接收,所述时间阈值可以为监听时间,或其他预设时间参数,或小区配置参数,具体此处不作限定。
另一种实现方式,每个目标信号可以携带编号,终端通过判断接收到的目标信号编号是否连续来判断是否为连续接收,比如,接收信号的编号是连续的则判断为连续接收。
示例性的,如图6所示,本申请实施例中,目标接入网设备可以在一个时间段向终端设备发送多个目标信号,相应地,终端设备可以接收这些目标信号。但在目标小区的信号质量较差的情况下,终端设备并不能接收到全部目标信号,只能接收到部分目标信号。例如图6中接入网设备向终端设备发送了5个目标信号,但终端设备只获取到2个目标信号。
本申请实施例中,目标小区的目标接入网设备可以在多个时间段向终端设备发送目标信号,例如图6中接入网设备在时间段1发送5个目标信号,在时间段2也会发送目标信号,终端设备获取到的目标信号是目标接入网设备在同一个时间段发送的,则终端设备获取到的目标信号是连续的; 否则就是不连续的。也就是说,终端设备获取到的多个目标信号位于同一时间段时,可以认为该多个目标信号是连续的;若终端设备获取到的多个目标信号位于多个时间段中,可以认为位于不同时间段中的目标信号是不连续的。即在图6中,终端设备在时间段2获取到的目标信号6和目标信号7与时间段1获取到的目标信号1和目标信号2是不连续的,在时间段1获取到的目标信号1和目标信号2是连续的。
上述以目标接入网设备在一个时间段向终端设备发送目标信号为例,除此之外,也可以是在其他时间单位内发送目标信号,例如在一个帧或者在一个子帧内发送目标信号,具体此处不做限定。本申请实施例中,终端设备也可以以搜索到目标信号的时间为起始时间,统计该时间之后连续成功获取目标信号的个数;或者终端也可以以j为周期,周期性触发统计连续成功获取目标信号个数的流程,j可以由目标信号携带,也可以为终端储存的预设参数。
一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备也可以只确定在时间T内成功获取的目标信号的数量,并不考虑获取的目标信号是否连续。
503、终端设备确定目标小区是否为可驻留小区。
一种实现方式,在终端设备连续成功获取的目标信号的数量大于阈值b,即满足了终端设备的小区选择准则的情况下,终端设备可以确定目标信号对应的目标小区为可驻留小区,该可驻留小区为满足终端设备的小区选择准则的小区,终端设备可以选择该目标小区进行通信。
另一种实现方式,当终端设备确定连续成功接收到的目标信号的个数小于或等于阈值b后,即并不满足终端设备的小区选择准则的要求后,终端设备确定目标小区为不可驻留小区,该不可驻留小区为不满足终端设备的小区选择准则要求的小区,终端设备不可以选择该目标小区进行通信。
一种实现方式中,终端设备连续成功获取到的目标信号的数量大于阈值b时,终端设备确定目标小区满足终端设备的小区选择准则。可以理解的是,本申请实施例中的小区选择准则即为终端设备连续成功获取到的目标信号的数量大于阈值b。
具体地,终端设备确定连续成功获取的目标信号的个数为a,a为大于阈值b的正整数。阈值b为终端设备的小区选择准则要求的阈值。也就是说,终端设备连续成功获取的目标信号的个数a大于小区选择准则要求的阈值b时,终端设备就可以确定目标小区满足终端设备的小区选择准则。
本申请实施例中,该阈值b可以是预设的,也可以是终端设备配置的,也可以是目标小区配置的,例如目标小区可以在目标信号中携带该阈值b,具体此处不作限定。
可选的,上述终端设备确定连续成功获取a个目标信号可以包括:终端设备在时间T1内连续成功获取到a个目标信号。
可选的,T1可以为一个时间段。如图6所示,本申请实施例中,终端设备确定连续成功获取a个目标信号,即终端设备在目标接入网设备发送目标信号的时间段,连续成功获取到了a个目标信号。如图6所示,目标接入网设备在时间段1发送了5个目标信号,但受到目标小区的信号质量的影响,终端设备只获取到了2个目标信号。可以理解的是,在目标接入网设备发送的目标信号的数量不变的情况下,终端设备获取到的目标信号的数量随着目标小区的信号质量提升而提升,因此终端设备可以根据获取到的目标信号的数量衡量目标小区的信号质量,从而确定目标小区是否可以被选为可驻留小区。
另一种实现方式,终端设备确定连续成功获取到的目标信号的数量小于或等于小区选择准则要求的阈值b时,终端设备确定目标小区并不满足终端设备的小区选择准则,则终端设备确定目标小区为不可驻留小区。
具体地,在终端设备获取到的目标信号的数量小于或等于阈值b的情况下,因为阈值b为终端设备的小区选择准则的要求的阈值,所以终端设备就可以确定连续成功获取的目标信号的数量不满足终端设备的小区选择准则的要求。
可选的,上述终端设备确定连续成功获取到的目标信号的数量小于或等于小区选择准则要求的阈值b可以包括:终端设备确定在时间T1内连续成功获取到的目标信号的数量小于或等于小区选择准则要求的阈值b。
上述终端设备确定目标小区是否满足终端设备的小区选择准则时,根据连续成功获取到的目标信号的数量是否大于阈值b来确定,除此之外,终端设备也可以根据成功获取到的目标信号的数量是否大于阈值b来确定,并不考虑获取到的多个目标信号是否连续。
可选的,在一些实施场景下,如图7所示,该方法还可以包括下述步骤504:
504、在终端设备确定目标小区为不可驻留小区后,终端设备对目标小区作为可驻留小区增加限制条件。
在目标小区并不满足终端设备的小区选择准则情况下,终端设备确定目标小区为不可驻留小区后,可以重新选择小区作为可驻留小区。
在一些情况下,可以对当前不满足小区选择或者无法正常工作的小区增加限制条件,比如步骤505的情况。
在重新选择小区时,终端设备可以对目标小区作为可驻留小区增加限制条件。
一种可能的实现方式中,在终端设备确定目标小区为不可驻留小区后,终端设备在T3时间内不可以选择目标小区为可驻留小区。
一种可能的实现方式中,若终端设备确定在时间T2内接收到的目标小区的目标信号的个数大于阈值c,则终端设备可以重新确定目标小区为可驻留小区,阈值c大于阈值b。
具体地,终端设备在确定目标小区为不可驻留小区后,可以重新选择可驻留小区。在重新选择可驻留小区时,终端设备会对目标小区作为可驻留小区增加限制条件,在确定获取到的来自目标小区的目标信号的数量是否满足小区选择准则时,目标小区的目标信号的数量需要大于阈值c才可以重新确定为可驻留小区,阈值c大于阈值b。而在确定其他小区是否可作为可驻留小区时,可以根据阈值b进行选择。
上述列举了两种可实现的限制条件,也可以是其他限制条件,具体此处不做限定,
本申请实施例中,终端设备为再次确定目标小区为可驻留小区增加了限制条件,避免了短时间内终端设备再次选择到信号质量未改变的小区,从而提高小区选择效率。
一种可能的实现方式中,若终端设备确定在时间T2内接收到的目标小区的目标信号的个数大于阈值c,则终端设备可以重新确定目标小区为可驻留小区,阈值c小于阈值b。
本申请实施例提供的小区选择方法,在终端设备重新确定可驻留小区时,终端设备放松了小区选择准则的要求,避免终端始终搜索不到满足小区选择准则条件的小区。
可选的,在一些实施场景下,如图7所示,终端设备确定目标小区为可驻留小区后,该方法还可以包括下述步骤:
505、终端设备驻留在目标小区后,确定终端设备为非正常工作状态。
在终端设备确定目标小区为可驻留小区,并与该目标小区进行通信后,若满足第一条件,则终端设备确定终端设备的当前工作状态为非正常工作状态。
具体地,该第一条件可以包括以下至少一项:终端设备未连续成功接收到目标信号的次数大于m(在与目标小区进行通信后,目标小区的目标接入网设备依然会向终端设备发送目标信号);终端设备确定随机接入失败的次数大于n;终端设备确定数据传输失败的次数大于s。也可以是其他确定终端设备为非正常工作状态的情况,例如终端设备在时间T4内接收到的数据的误块率大于阈值t等,具体此处不做限定。
506、终端设备重新选择小区。
在终端设备确定终端设备为非正常工作状态或者小区不满足小区选择准则后,终端设备可以重新选择小区作为可驻留小区进行连接。
一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备重新选择小区时,可以为目标小区增加限制条件,具体的限制条件可以与步骤504中的限制条件类似,此处不再赘述。
一种可能的实现方式中,驻留小区可以向终端设备发送辅助信息,该信息可以在连接释放消息和/或系统消息等信号中携带,该信号可以包括其他小区的信息,例如其他小区发送目标信号的频点、时间、周期等信息,从而使得终端设备可以根据该信息进行小区选择。
本申请实施例中,目标小区可以通过目标信号配置终端设备选择小区的阈值等信息。具体地,当目标信号是系统消息、同步信号和寻呼消息时,目标信号可以携带上述时间T1、时间T2、时间T3、时间T4、阈值b、阈值c中的至少一项。
如图8所示,为本申请实施例提供的另一种小区选择方法,该小区选择方法包括如下步骤:
801、终端设备获取目标小区的目标信号。
具体步骤与上述实施例一中的步骤501类似,具体此处不再赘述。
802、终端设备的第一协议层接收来自第二协议层的同步指示。
可选的,终端设备在获取到目标信号后,终端设备的第二协议层可以根据该目标信号生成同步 指示或不同步指示,并将该同步指示或不同步指示发送给第一协议层。
具体地,该第一协议层和第二协议层可以是终端设备中的实体模块,第一协议层为第一模块,第二协议层为第二模块。
一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备的第二模块(第二协议层)生成同步指示或不同步指示包括下述步骤:
a、第二模块先测量获取到的目标信号的信号与干扰加噪声比(signal to interference plus noise ratio,SINR);
b、第二模块根据该目标信号的SINR确定该目标信号的误块率(block error rate,BLER);
C、若该目标信号的误块率小于阈值k,第二模块生成对应的同步指示,该同步指示可以反映出目标小区与终端设备之间可能具有较好的通信质量,并将该同步指示传输给第一模块。若该目标信号的误块率大于或等于阈值k,则不生成同步指示,或者第二模块生成对应的不同步指示,并将该不同步指示传输给第一模块,该不同步指示可以反映出目标小区与终端设备之间可能具有较差的通信质量。
本申请实施例中,目标小区的信号质量越好,终端设备获取到的目标信号的误块率就越低。相应地,终端设备生成的同步指示就越多,不同步指示就越少。可以理解的是,在目标接入网设备发送的目标信号的数量不变的情况下,终端设备的第一协议层收到的同步指示的数量随着目标小区的信号质量提升而提升,因此终端设备可以根据第一协议层收到的同步指示的数量衡量目标小区的信号质量,从而确定目标小区是否可以被选为可驻留小区。
本申请实施例中,该第一协议层和第二协议层都属于终端设备的协议层级,第一协议层的层级高于第二协议层。终端设备的协议层级可以包括无线资源控制层(radio resource control,RRC)、媒体接入控制子层(medium access control,MAC)和物理层(physical layer,PHY)等协议层级。其中包括上述第一协议层和第二协议层,例如第一协议层可以是RRC层,第二协议层可以是PHY层。也可以是其他两个层级,具体此处不做限定。
本申请实施例中,终端设备测量目标信号的SINR的测量周期可以与参考信号相关,该参考信号可以是Beacon和同步信号等信号。例如终端设备可以根据协议或广播消息的指示,确定终端设备的测量周期为N个周期,N为大于等于1的整数。
803、终端设备确定第一协议层连续成功接收来自第二协议层的同步指示的数量。
终端设备确定第一协议层连续成功接收来自第二协议层的同步指示的数量。
本申请实施例中,一种实现方式,终端设备可以确定在某个时间内第一协议层连续接收到的同步指示和不同步指示的数量;另一种实现方式,由于终端设备的同步指示与目标信号是一一对应的,在步骤801对限制在一定时间内获取目标信号时,无需额外对同步指示和不同步指示进行时间上的限定。
判断是否连续成功接收的实现方式与步骤502所述相似,具体此处不再赘述。
804、终端设备确定目标小区是否为可驻留小区。
一种实现方式,当终端设备确定第一协议层连续成功接收到第二协议层传输的同步指示的个数大于阈值e,即终端设备确定连续成功获取的同步指示的数量满足终端设备的小区选择准则的要求,则终端设备可以确定目标小区为可驻留小区,该可驻留小区为满足终端设备小区选择准则的要求的小区,终端设备可以选择该目标小区进行通信。
另一种实现方式,当终端设备确定第一协议层连续成功接收到的不同步指示的个数大于阈值e,或终端设备确定第一协议层连续成功接收到的第二协议层传输的同步指示的个数小于或等于阈值e后,即终端设备确定,终端设备连续成功获取的同步指示的数量并不满足终端设备的小区选择准则的要求,终端设备可以确定目标小区为不可驻留小区,不可驻留小区为不满足终端设备的小区选择准则要求的小区,终端设备不可以选择该目标小区进行通信。
一种实现方式中,终端设备确定第一协议层连续成功接收到来自第二协议层的同步指示的数量大于阈值e时,终端设备确定目标小区满足终端设备的小区选择准则。可以理解的是,本实施例中的小区选择准则即为第一协议层连续成功接收到来自第二协议层的同步指示的数量大于阈值e。
具体地,终端设备确定第一协议层连续成功接收到来自第二协议层的d个同步指示,d大于阈值e,阈值e为终端设备的小区选择准则的要求的阈值。也就是说,终端设备连续成功获取的同步指示的个数d大于小区选择准则要求的阈值e时,终端设备就可以确定目标小区满足终端设备的小 区选择准则。
另一种实现方式中,终端设备确定第一协议层连续成功接收到来自第二协议层的同步指示的数量小于或等于阈值e时,终端设备确定目标小区不满足终端设备的小区选择准则。
具体地,终端设备确定第一协议层连续成功接收到的第二协议层传输的同步指示的个数小于或等于阈值e,或终端设备确定第一协议层连续成功接收到的不同步指示的个数大于阈值e,阈值e为终端设备的小区选择准则的要求的阈值。也就是说,终端设备连续成功获取的同步指示的个数小于或等于小区选择准则要求的阈值e时,或者终端设备连续成功获取的不同步指示的个数大于小区选择准则要求的阈值e时,终端设备就可以确定目标小区满足终端设备的小区选择准则。
本申请实施例中,该阈值e可以是预设的,也可以是终端设备配置的,也可以是目标小区配置的,例如目标小区可以在目标信号中携带该阈值e,具体此处不作限定。
可选的,在一些实施场景下,如图9所示,该方法还可以包括下述步骤805:
805、在终端设备确定目标小区为不可驻留小区后,终端设备对目标小区作为可驻留小区增加限制条件。
在一些情况下,可以对当前不满足小区选择或者无法正常工作的小区增加限制条件,比如步骤505的情况。终端设备驻留在目标小区后,确定终端设备为非正常工作状态后,在重新选择小区时,也可以对目标小区增加限制条件。
在目标小区并不满足终端设备的小区选择准则情况下,终端设备确定目标小区为不可驻留小区后,可以重新选择小区作为可驻留小区,在重新选择小区时,终端设备可以对目标小区作为可驻留小区增加限制条件。
一种可能的实现方式中,在终端设备确定目标小区为不可驻留小区后,终端设备在T3时间内不可以选择目标小区为可驻留小区。
一种可能的实现方式中,若终端设备确定在时间T2内接收到的同步指示的个数大于阈值f,则终端设备可以重新确定目标小区为可驻留小区,阈值f大于阈值e。
具体地,终端设备在确定目标小区为不可驻留小区后,可以重新选择可驻留小区。在重新选择可驻留小区时,终端设备会向目标小区增加限制条件,在确定第一协议层连续成功接收到的不同步指示的个数是否满足小区选择准则时,目标小区的目标信号的数量需要大于阈值f才可以重新确定为可驻留小区,阈值f大于阈值e。而在确定其他小区是否可作为可驻留小区时,可以根据阈值e进行选择。
上述列举了两种可实现的限制条件,也可以是其他限制条件,具体此处不做限定,
本申请实施例中,终端设备为再次确定目标小区为可驻留小区增加了限制条件,避免了短时间内终端设备再次选择到信号质量未改变的目标小区,从而提高小区选择效率。
一种可能的实现方式中,若终端设备确定第一协议层连续成功接收到第二协议层传输的同步指示的个数大于阈值l,则终端设备可以重新确定目标小区为可驻留小区,阈值l小于阈值e。
本申请实施例提供的小区选择方法,在终端设备重新确定可驻留小区时,终端设备放松了小区选择准则的要求,避免终端始终搜索不到满足小区选择准则条件的小区。
可选的,在一些实施场景下,如图9所示,终端设备确定目标小区为可驻留小区后,该方法还可以包括下述步骤:
806、终端设备驻留在目标小区后,确定终端设备为非正常工作状态。
具体步骤与上述实施例一中的步骤505类似,具体此处不再赘述。
807、终端设备重新选择小区。
具体步骤与上述实施例一中的步骤506类似,具体此处不再赘述。
本申请实施例中,目标小区可以通过目标信号配置终端设备选择小区的阈值等信息。具体地,当目标信号是系统消息、同步信号和寻呼消息时,目标信号可以携带/包括上述时间T2、时间T3、时间T4、阈值k、阈值e和阈值f中的至少一项。
如图10所示,为本申请实施例提供的另一种小区选择方法,该小区选择方法包括如下步骤:
1001、终端设备获取目标小区的目标信号。
具体步骤与上述实施例一中的步骤501类似,具体此处不再赘述。
1002、终端设备根据目标信号的信号质量确定目标小区的目标小区选择值。
本申请实施例中,终端设备根据目标信号的信号质量确定目标小区的目标小区选择值可以包括 以下步骤:
a、终端设备测量目标信号的RSRP;
b、终端设备将目标信号的RSRP减去阈值g确定为目标小区的目标小区选择值。其中,阈值g为目标小区中要求的最小接收水平。
本申请实施例中,目标小区要求的最小接收水平与终端设备的类型相关。例如,当终端设备的类型为标签时,对于不同类型的标签,目标小区要求的最小接收水平不同。例如有源标签、主动标签(active),无源标签和半无源标签的功率水平不同,因此最小接收强度也不同。具体如图11所示,通常有源标签的功率最大,标签覆盖范围也最大,相应的,最小接收强度越高;半有源标签的功率和标签覆盖范围次之,相应的,最小接收强度较高;无源标签的功率最小,标签覆盖范围也最小,相应的,最小接收强度最低。
另一种实现方式中,阈值g也可以是最小接收水平阈值与其他参数之和,其他参数可以为建立连接失败而产生的临时偏移量和/或小区选择优先级相关的参数,其中,小区选择优先级也可以。
本申请实施例中,该阈值g可以是预设的,可以是协议规定的,也可以是终端设备配置的,也可以是目标小区配置的,例如目标小区可以在目标信号中携带该阈值g,具体此处不作限定。不同标签类型阈值g不同,具体可以定义多个阈值,或者目标小区配置多个阈值。也可以不同类型的标签对应的阈值,通过添加不同的偏置量来表示最小电平差异。
可选的,信号质量可以通过RSRS表示。也可以通过其他参数表示,例如RSRQ等参数,本申请对此不作具体限定。
本申请实施例中,终端设备测量目标信号的RSRP或RSRQ的测量周期可以与参考信号相关,该参考信号可以是Beacon和同步信号等信号。例如终端设备可以根据协议或广播消息的指示,确定终端设备的测量周期为N个周期,N为大于等于1的整数。
1003、终端设备确定目标小区是否为可驻留小区。
一种可能的实现方式中,当终端设备确定目标小区的目标小区质量满足小区准则要求后,比如S准则,即目标小区的目标小区选择值满足终端设备的小区选择准则后,终端设备确定目标小区为可驻留小区,该可驻留小区为满足终端设备小区选择准则的小区,终端设备可以选择该目标小区进行通信。可以理解的是,本实施例中的小区选择准则即为目标小区的目标小区选择值大于零。
另一种可能的实现方式中,当终端设备确定目标小区的目标小区选择值小于零后,即终端设备确定目标小区的目标小区选择值并不满足终端设备的小区选择准则,终端设备可以确定目标小区为不可驻留小区,不可驻留小区为不满足终端设备的小区选择准则要求的小区,终端设备不可以选择该目标小区进行通信。
可选的,在一些实施场景下,如图12所示,该方法还可以包括下述步骤1004:
1004、在终端设备确定目标小区为不可驻留小区后,终端设备对目标小区作为可驻留小区增加限制条件。
在目标小区并不满足终端设备的小区选择准则情况下,终端设备确定目标小区为不可驻留小区后,可以重新选择小区作为可驻留小区,在重新选择小区时,终端设备可以对目标小区作为可驻留小区增加限制条件。
在一些情况下,可以对当前不满足小区选择或者无法正常工作的小区增加限制条件,比如步骤505的情况。终端设备驻留在目标小区后,确定终端设备为非正常工作状态后,在重新选择小区时,也可以对目标小区增加限制条件。
一种可能的实现方式中,在终端设备确定目标小区为不可驻留小区后,终端设备在T3时间内不可以选择目标小区为可驻留小区。
一种可能的实现方式中,若终端设备确定在时间T2内目标小区的目标小区选择值大于阈值h,则终端设备可以重新确定目标小区为可驻留小区,阈值h大于零。
具体地,终端设备在确定目标小区为不可驻留小区后,可以重新选择可驻留小区。在重新选择可驻留小区时,终端设备可以对目标小区作为可驻留小区增加限制条件,在确定目标小区的目标小区选择值是否满足小区选择准则时,目标小区的目标小区选择值需要大于阈值h才可以重新确定为可驻留小区,阈值h大于零。而在确定其他小区是否可作为可驻留小区时,只需确定小区的目标小区选择值大于零,既可以确定为可驻留小区。
上述列举了两种可实现的限制条件,也可以是其他限制条件,具体此处不做限定,
本申请实施例中,终端设备为再次确定目标小区为可驻留小区增加了限制条件,避免了短时间内终端设备再次选择到信号质量未改变的目标小区,从而提高小区选择效率。
一种可能的实现方式中,若终端设备确定目标小区的目标小区选择值大于阈值w,则终端设备可以重新确定目标小区为可驻留小区,阈值w小于零。
本申请实施例提供的小区选择方法,在终端设备重新确定可驻留小区时,终端设备放松了小区选择准则的要求,避免终端始终搜索不到满足小区选择准则条件的小区。
可选的,在一些实施场景下,如图12所示,终端设备确定目标小区为可驻留小区后,该方法还可以包括下述步骤:
1005、终端设备驻留在目标小区后,确定终端设备为非正常工作状态。
具体步骤与上述实施例一中的步骤505类似,具体此处不再赘述。
1006、终端设备重新选择小区。
具体步骤与上述实施例一中的步骤506类似,具体此处不再赘述。
本申请实施例中,目标小区可以通过目标信号配置终端设备选择小区的阈值等信息。具体地,当目标信号是系统消息、同步信号和寻呼消息时,目标信号可以携带/包括上述时间T2、时间T3、时间T4、阈值g和阈值h中的至少一项。
