具体实施方式
现在将参照附图来详细描述本公开的各种示例性实施例。应注意到:除非另外具体说明,否则在这些实施例中阐述的部件和步骤的相对布置、数字表达式和数值不限制本公开的范围。
同时,应当明白,为了便于描述,附图中所示出的各个部分的尺寸并不是按照实际的比例关系绘制的。
以下对至少一个示例性实施例的描述实际上仅仅是说明性的,决不作为对本公开及其应用或使用的任何限制。
对于相关领域普通技术人员已知的技术、方法和设备可能不作详细讨论,但在适当情况下,技术、方法和设备应当被视为说明书的一部分。
在这里示出和讨论的所有示例中,任何具体值应被解释为仅仅是示例性的,而不是作为限制。因此,示例性实施例的其它示例可以具有不同的值。
应注意到:相似的标号和字母在下面的附图中表示类似项,因此,一旦某一项在一个附图中被定义,则在随后的附图中不需要对其进行进一步讨论。
本公开的发明人发现上述相关技术中存在如下问题:对于参考点位置不固定的情 况,会引入较大的广播消息更新开销,从而导致通信性能下降。
鉴于此,本公开提出了一种小区切换技术方案,能够避免引入较大的广播消息更新开销。
如前所述,在准地面固定波束小区的广播消息中加入小区覆盖参考点信息,能够支持基于位置的准地面固定波束条件切换。但是,对于地面移动波束,由于小区覆盖参考点位置不固定,如果广播小区覆盖参考点实时位置信息,会引入较大的广播消息更新开销。因此,上述方式不支持基于位置信息的地面移动波束条件切换。
针对上述技术问题,本公开根据地面移动波束卫星小区特点,能够使终端基于网络侧广播消息,对小区覆盖参考点的变化进行预测;使得终端能够得到小区覆盖参考点的实时位置,进而基于位置信息触发条件切换。这样,能够提高地面移动波束卫星小区切换的准确性和鲁棒性。
例如,可以通过下面的实施例,实现本公开的技术方案。
图1示出本公开的小区切换方法的一些实施例的流程图。
如图1所示,在步骤110中,向终端广播当前服务小区的小区覆盖参考点(Reference point)在第一预设时间段内的第一位置变化信息,以便终端根据第一位置变化信息确定是否触发小区切换。
在一些实施例中,第一位置变化信息包括当前服务小区的小区覆盖参考点在第一预设时间段内的多个第一位置,以及多个第一位置中的每一个对应的时间信息。
例如,第一位置变化信息为轨迹(Trajectory)变化信息,当前服务小区为地面移动波束卫星小区。地面移动波束卫星小区,广播其小区覆盖参考点的轨迹变化信息。轨迹变化信息可以包括小区覆盖参考点位置及其与时间的对应关系列表。
在一些实施例中,第一位置变化信息用于指示终端根据第一位置变化信息,预测当前服务小区的小区覆盖参考点的第一实时位置,以便终端根据第一实时位置确定是否触发小区切换。
例如,第一实时位置用于指示终端根据第一实时位置和终端的位置信息,确定终端与当前服务小区的小区覆盖参考点的第一距离,并在第一距离大于第一阈值的情况下触发小区切换。
例如,终端根据小区覆盖参考点的轨迹变化信息、当前服务小区对应的星历信息、终端的位置信息,对终端与当前服务小区的小区覆盖参考点的距离进行计算;在该距离大于第一阈值的情况下,触发向当前服务小区进行测量上报的流程。
例如,测量上报的内容可以包括终端的位置信息和当前服务小区的相邻小区的信号质量。
在步骤120中,在终端确定触发小区切换的情况下,向终端发送进行小区切换的相关信息,以便终端根据相关信息进行小区切换。
在上述实施例中,网络侧广播小区覆盖参考点的轨迹变化信息,使得终端能够基于此信息,决定是否触发小区切换。这样,不但能够在避免引入较大的广播消息更新开销的情况下实现小区切换,而且能够提高小区切换的准确性和鲁棒性,从而提高通信性能。
在一些实施例中,在终端确定触发小区切换的情况下,根据终端返回的终端的位置信息,预测小区切换的候选小区,小区切换的相关信息包括候选小区的配置信息。
例如,网络侧(如当前服务小区)根据测量上报的内容,将条件切换配置(如进行小区切换的相关信息)下发给终端。
在一些实施例中,候选小区的配置信息包括候选小区的小区覆盖参考点在第二预设时间段内的第二位置变化信息,以便终端根据第二位置变化信息和第一位置变化信息进行小区切换。
例如,网络侧可以根据星历信息和终端的位置信息,预测多个候选小区,并下发条件切换配置。条件切换配置可以包括无线资源配置信息和候选小区的轨迹变化信息(如候选小区的小区覆盖参考点在第二预设时间段内的第二位置变化信息)。
在一些实施例中,第一位置变化信息用于指示终端根据第一位置变化信息,预测当前服务小区的小区覆盖参考点的第一实时位置,以便终端根据第一实时位置和终端的位置信息,确定终端与当前服务小区的小区覆盖参考点的第一距离。
在一些实施例中,第二位置变化信息用于指示终端根据第二位置变化信息,预测候选小区的小区覆盖参考点的第二实时位置,以便终端根据第二实时位置和终端的位置信息,确定终端与候选小区的小区覆盖参考点的第二距离,并根据第一距离和第二距离进行小区切换。
例如,小区切换在第一距离大于第二阈值,且第二距离小于第三阈值的情况下进行。
例如,在存在多个候选小区的情况下,终端根据条件切换配置,依次接入候选小区。该步骤的执行条件可以包括:终端根据轨迹变化信息,预测当前服务小区和候选小区的小区覆盖参考点的位置随时间的变化(如当前时刻下,当前服务小区的小区覆 盖参考点的实时位置和候选小区的小区覆盖参考点的实时位置);在终端与当前服务小区的小区覆盖参考点的距离大于第二阈值,且终端与候选小区的小区覆盖参考点的距离小于第三阈值的情况下,执行条件切换,将终端切换至目标小区(如该候选小区)。
在一些实施例中,候选小区的配置信息包括无线资源配置信息。
在一些实施例中,根据终端返回的当前服务小区的相邻小区的信号质量和终端的位置信息,预测候选小区。
在一些实施例中,在终端完成了小区切换的情况下,接收小区切换的目标小区发送的资源释放消息。
例如,在终端进行多次切换,即包含多个目标小区的情况下,目标小区依次发送资源释放消息给小区切换的源小区。
在一些实施例中,在终端发来针对小区切换的候选小区的更换请求信息的情况下,根据候选小区被请求更换的次数,更新候选小区的配置信息。例如,更换请求信息包括当前服务小区的相邻小区的无线测量信息。
例如,针对某候选小区,在其信道质量要求无法满足条件切换的执行要求的情况下,终端发送针对该候选小区的更换请求消息给当前服务小区。更换请求消息可以包含当前服务小区的相邻小区进行的无线测量报告;网络侧维护条件切换配置,更新该候选小区的计数器,每收到一次该候选小区的更换请求消息,该计数器的值加一。
在一些实施例中,候选小区包括当前时刻的候选小区。在被请求更换的次数小于第四阈值的情况下,对当前时刻的候选小区的配置信息进行更新;在被请求更换的次数大于或等于第四阈值的情况下,对当前时刻的候选小区的配置信息以及未来时刻的候选小区的配置信息进行更新。
在一些实施例中,在终端发来更换请求信息的情况下,对候选小区被请求更换的次数进行更新;在被请求更换的次数小于第四阈值的情况下,将更新后的候选小区被请求更换的次数发送给小区切换的目标小区。
例如,在计数器数值小于第四阈值的情况下,网络侧仅对当前时刻应该接入的候选小区的配置进行更新;在计数器数值大于或等于第四阈值的情况下,网络侧对当前时刻及以后时候的候选小区的配置进行更新。
在一些实施例中,在被请求更换的次数大于或等于第四阈值的情况下,将候选小区被请求更换的次数归零。
例如,在仅对当前时刻接入的候选小区的配置进行更新的情况下,该候选小区的 计数器的值随着小区切换,传递到目标小区;在对当前时刻及以后时刻的候选小区配置进行更新的情况下,将该候选小区的计数器归零,目标小区重新开始对该计数器进行维护。
在一些实施例中,在当前服务小区对应的卫星移动到第一位置变化信息对应的最远点位置的情况下,将第一位置变化信息更新为第三位置变化信息;向终端发送第一位置变化信息被更新的提示信息,以便终端接收第三位置变化信息。
例如,地面移动波束卫星小区,广播其小区覆盖参考点信息的轨迹变化信息;在地面移动波束卫星小区对应的卫星移动至轨迹变化信息的最远点位置的情况下,触发轨迹变化信息更新流程;该卫星广播更新的轨迹变化信息,并在SIB1(System Information Block,系统信息块)消息中对valueTag值进行更新,更新后的valueTag值用于指示终端,轨迹变化信息被更新,需要重新接收;在终端接收到广播消息中valueTag值发生变化的情况下,重新接收广播消息中的更新后的轨迹变化信息。
图2a示出本公开的地面移动波束卫星小区的一些实施例的示意图。
如图2a所示,卫星A和卫星B分别对应不同的地面移动波束卫星小区。终端位于两个地面移动波束卫星小区的重叠区域,即切换区域。
地面移动波束卫星小区的覆盖范围一直随着卫星的移动而变化。如果实时广播小区覆盖参考点信息,会引入较大的广播消息更新开销。因此,需要网络侧提供相关辅助信息,使得终端能够对小区覆盖参考点位置进行准确推测,进而基于位置信息实现精准的条件切换。
在一些实施例中,可以由网络侧广播小区覆盖参考点的轨迹变化信息,终端基于此信息,对小区覆盖参考点的实时位置进行推断,并触发条件切换。这样,能够提高地面移动波束卫星小区切换的准确性和鲁棒性。
例如,首先,网络侧广播小区覆盖参考点的轨迹变化信息,指示在一段时间内小区覆盖参考点随时间的变化情况;其次,终端根据广播消息预测出的小区覆盖参考点的实时位置,判断其是否处在小区边缘,进而确定是否触发测量上报;然后,网络侧基于终端上报的终端位置,预测多个候选目标小区,在条件切换配置中,将候选小区的小区覆盖参考点的轨迹变化信息下发给终端;最后,终端基于该信息,预测候选小区的小区覆盖参考点的位置变化,自主触发执行条件切换。
