背景技术 Background technique

本发明涉及无线通信系统,特别是包括专用基站的无线通信系统,该专用基站比如是对小规模UE群具有接入限制的小型家用设备。The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, in particular a wireless communication system comprising a private base station, such as a small home appliance with access restrictions to a small group of UEs.

随着无线通信标准中第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation PartnershipProgram,3GPP)中演进通用陆地无线接入网络(Enhanced UTRAN,E-UTRAN),也称为长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)的发展,出现了对专用小型家用设备的需求。With the evolution of the Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (Enhanced UTRAN, E-UTRAN) in the 3rd Generation Partnership Program (3rd Generation Partnership Program, 3GPP) in wireless communication standards, also known as the development of Long Term Evolution (LTE) , a need for dedicated small household devices arose.

专用基站至少应包括无线基站的功能,尤其是专用基站应该为非常小的小区提供无线基站的功能,这样的小区称为毫微(Femto)小区或微微(pico)小区。在本文中,专用基站的概念应包含各种小型无线基站的设备,如室内办公设备,还可以包括覆盖较大范围的传统无线基站设备。可是,正如上面介绍的,系统中的UE对这些专用无线基站设备的接入权限是有限的。The private base station should at least include the function of the wireless base station, especially the private base station should provide the function of the wireless base station for a very small cell, such a cell is called a femto cell or a pico cell. In this paper, the concept of private base station should include various small wireless base station equipment, such as indoor office equipment, and can also include traditional wireless base station equipment covering a larger area. However, as described above, the UEs in the system have limited access rights to these dedicated radio base station devices.

此外,尽管本文以3GPP和E-UTRAN为例,本发明也可以应用于任何一般技术人员所熟知的无线电接入技术中。在本文中,“基站”泛指覆盖网络小区的任何网络节点,如无线基站,Node-B节点B(NB),演进节点B(eNB)等类似的其它网络节点。此外,“UE”在这里泛指可以和这类基站通信的任何移动实体,如移动台(MS),UE等实体。本文中的“专用小区重选”用于UE对专用小区进行小区重选。In addition, although 3GPP and E-UTRAN are taken as examples in this paper, the present invention can also be applied to any radio access technology well known to those skilled in the art. In this document, "base station" generally refers to any network node that covers a network cell, such as a radio base station, Node-B Node B (NB), evolved Node B (eNB) and other similar network nodes. In addition, "UE" here generally refers to any mobile entity that can communicate with this type of base station, such as mobile station (MS), UE and other entities. The "dedicated cell reselection" herein is used for the UE to perform cell reselection on a dedicated cell.

图1是一个3G E-UTRAN例子的示意图。E-UTRAN的构架比UTRAN的架构要相对简单。如图1所示,在E-UTRAN中去掉了用来控制多个NB的中心无线网络控制器(Radio Network Controller,RNC),而只定义了两种节点类型,即eNB和接入网关(MME/SAE)。其中eNB属于E-UTRAN网络,而MME/SAE网关属于演进分组核心(Evolved Packet Core,EPC)网络,eNBs之间采用X2接口,eNB和MMS/SAE网关之间的接口采用S1接口。通用移动通信系统(Universal Mobile Telephony System,UMTS)采用了类似的网络构架,尤其是在高速分组接入(High Speed Packet Access,HSPA)系统演进中,RNC和NB合并为同一节点。Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an example of 3G E-UTRAN. The framework of E-UTRAN is relatively simpler than that of UTRAN. As shown in Figure 1, the central radio network controller (Radio Network Controller, RNC) used to control multiple NBs is removed in E-UTRAN, and only two node types are defined, namely eNB and access gateway (MME /SAE). The eNB belongs to the E-UTRAN network, while the MME/SAE gateway belongs to the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) network. The X2 interface is used between eNBs, and the S1 interface is used between the eNB and the MMS/SAE gateway. Universal Mobile Telephony System (UMTS) adopts a similar network architecture, especially in the evolution of High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) system, RNC and NB are merged into the same node.

当UE在网络中以空闲模式漫游时,其通过对确定小区的测量来选择最适合驻留的小区。When the UE roams in the idle mode in the network, it selects the most suitable cell to camp on by measuring the determined cell.

当UE选择的小区属于另外一个跟踪区(Tracking Area,TA),而不是其本身目前驻留的跟踪区时,UE向其核心网络(Core Network,CN)发出一个TA更新(TA Update,TAU)请求信息,用来通知CN该UE已变换其覆盖区。When the cell selected by the UE belongs to another tracking area (Tracking Area, TA) instead of the tracking area where it currently resides, the UE sends a TA update (TA Update, TAU) to its core network (Core Network, CN) The request information is used to inform the CN that the UE has changed its coverage area.

闭合用户群(Closed User Groups,CUG)的专用基站概念给蜂窝网络的接入带来了新的方向。本文中,“有限接入权限”指的就是这些CUG。在同一个区域,可能存在专用基站覆盖的大量小区,该区域同时也为正常公共蜂窝网络中的公共基站所覆盖。然而,UE仅具有接入一个或一些这些专用基站的权限。由于所需的信息依赖于具体的UE,而并非适用于所有UE,所以,在UTRAN小区中广播相邻小区列表的解决方案便没有了吸引力。通过广播大量UE所需要的信息,实现接入一个专用基站,将产生大量的系统信令开销,因为对于传输UE特定的信息来说,广播是一种非常不准确的方法。The concept of dedicated base stations for Closed User Groups (CUG) brings a new direction to cellular network access. In this article, "limited access rights" refers to these CUGs. There may be a large number of cells covered by private base stations in the same area, which is also covered by public base stations in a normal public cellular network. However, the UE only has access to one or some of these private base stations. Since the required information is UE specific and not applicable to all UEs, the solution of broadcasting neighbor cell lists in UTRAN cells is not attractive. Accessing a dedicated base station by broadcasting information required by a large number of UEs will generate a large amount of system signaling overhead, because broadcasting is a very inaccurate method for transmitting UE-specific information.

在全球移动通讯系统(Global Systemfor Mobile communication,GSM)中,无线电话系统(Cordless Telephony System,CTS)已经提出小型家用设备的概念,如文献[5]所述。(参考文献列表位于本说明书的最后。)这里,这些想要接入CTS小区的移动台的移动性管理由UE控制,而优先选择GSM或优先选择CTS系统,可以在六种不同模式下手工或自动配置。In the Global System for Mobile communication (GSM), the Cordless Telephony System (CTS) has proposed the concept of small household equipment, as described in [5]. (The list of references is at the end of this specification.) Here, the mobility management of these mobile stations wanting to access the CTS cell is controlled by the UE, while the GSM or CTS system is preferred, which can be manually or in six different modes Automatic configuration.

文献[3]提出一种解决CUG限制接入的方法,即为制定允许UE接入的TAs的列表,并使专用基站发送关于其接入状态的信息,即是配置为公共接入还是受限接入。该解决方法的一个缺陷是系统中可能存在大量的专用基站,并因此导致系统耗尽其标识符。Literature [3] proposes a method to solve CUG restricted access, that is, to formulate a list of TAs that the UE is allowed to access, and make the private base station send information about its access status, that is, whether it is configured as public access or restricted access. One drawback of this solution is that there may be a large number of private base stations in the system and thus cause the system to exhaust its identifiers.

文献[2]介绍了标识符的问题。跟踪区域码(Tracking Area Code,TAC)和小区标识符之间的软差别使得TAC的比特数目取决于TA包含的小区数目。Document [2] introduces the problem of identifiers. The soft difference between the tracking area code (Tracking Area Code, TAC) and the cell identifier makes the number of bits of the TAC depend on the number of cells contained in the TA.

然而,上文介绍的背景技术解决方案有如下问题:为了使得UE仅接入其具有权限的专用基站,需要执行大量的专有基站的空闲模式检测和搜索以及其他信令。However, the background art solutions presented above have the problem that in order for a UE to only access private base stations for which it has authority, a large amount of idle mode detection and searching of private base stations and other signaling needs to be performed.

此外,在背景技术中,相邻小区列表(Neighbor Cell Lists,NCLs)在小区间广播需要占用信令开销。因为网络中包含大量专用小区,这种方式将生产大量的信令开支。包含的所有这些专用小区信息的相邻小区列表可能会非常巨大,将会产生大量的信令开销。不同的UE具有接入不同专用基站的权限,对UE而言只有其能接入小区的信息是有用的,所以信令中的大部分信息对于大多数UE是无用的。In addition, in the background technology, broadcasting of neighbor cell lists (Neighbor Cell Lists, NCLs) between cells requires signaling overhead. Because the network contains a large number of private cells, this approach will produce a large number of signaling expenses. The neighbor cell list containing all these dedicated cell information may be very large and will generate a lot of signaling overhead. Different UEs have access rights to different private base stations, and only the information about the cells they can access is useful to UEs, so most of the information in the signaling is useless to most UEs.

发明内容 Contents of the invention

本发明的目的是解决上述专用小区重选中涉及的问题。The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems involved in the above-mentioned private cell reselection.

本发明的目的是提供一种专用小区重选方法,相对于现有技术专用小区重选方法而言,需要较少的测量、搜索和信令。The object of the present invention is to provide a private cell reselection method which requires less measurement, search and signaling compared to the prior art private cell reselection method.

本发明的目的是这样实现的:一种用于UE专用小区重选的UE侧方法,其中,仅当UE邻近其具有接入权限的专用基站时,UE执行专用小区重选搜索,这里,邻近度检测基于UE以及其与专用基站的关系的信息。The object of the present invention is achieved as follows: a UE-side method for UE-specific cell reselection, wherein, only when the UE is adjacent to a private base station with access rights, the UE performs a dedicated cell reselection search, here, adjacent Degree detection is based on information about the UE and its relationship to the private base station.

本发明的目的是这样实现的:一种用于UE专用小区重选的网络节点侧方法,其中仅当UE邻近其具有接入权限的专用基站时,网络节点与该对专用基站具有接入权限的UE进行关于专用小区重选搜索的通信,这里的邻近度检测基于UE以及其与专用基站的关系的信息。The object of the present invention is achieved in this way: a network node side method for UE private cell reselection, wherein the network node and the pair of private base stations have access rights only when the UE is adjacent to the private base station to which it has access rights The UE communicates about the private cell reselection search, where the proximity detection is based on information about the UE and its relationship with the private base station.

本发明的目的是这样实现的:一种用于执行UE专用小区重选的UE,其中UE用于:仅当所述UE邻近其具有接入权限的小区时,执行专用小区重选搜索,这里邻近度检测基于UE以及其与专用基站的关系的信息。The object of the present invention is achieved in the following way: a UE for performing UE-specific cell reselection, wherein the UE is used for performing a dedicated cell reselection search only when the UE is adjacent to a cell with access rights, where Proximity detection is based on information about UEs and their relationship to private base stations.

本发明的目的是这样实现的:一种用于执行UE专用小区重选的网络节点,其中网络节点用于:仅当UE邻近其具有接入权限的专用基站时,所述网络节点与该对专用基站具有接入权限的UE进行关于专用小区重选搜索的通信,这里邻近度检测基于UE以及其与专用基站的关系的信息。The object of the present invention is achieved in this way: a network node for performing UE-specific cell reselection, wherein the network node is used for: only when the UE is adjacent to a private base station for which it has access rights, said network node and the pair A UE having access rights to a private base station communicates with respect to a private cell reselection search, where proximity detection is based on information about the UE and its relationship to the private base station.

本发明的目的是这样实现的:一种用于执行UE专用小区重选的系统,包括:The object of the present invention is achieved in this way: a system for performing UE-specific cell reselection, comprising:

-UE,用于仅当所述UE邻近其具有接入权限的专用基站时,执行专用小区重选搜索;- a UE for performing a private cell reselection search only if said UE is adjacent to a private base station to which it has access rights;

-网络节点,用于仅当UE邻近其具有接入权限的专用基站时,与所述UE进行专用小区重选搜索的通信;这里,邻近度检测基于UE以及其与专用基站的关系的信息。- A network node for communicating with a UE for a private cell reselection search only if the UE is in proximity to a private base station to which it has access rights; here proximity detection is based on information about the UE and its relationship to the private base station.

本发明的目的也是这样实现的,一种执行本发明方法的计算机程序和计算机程序产品。The object of the present invention is also achieved by a computer program and a computer program product for performing the method of the present invention.

本发明的专用小区重选其特性在于,专用基站的搜索基于与UE具有操作权限的专用基站的邻近度,这里邻近度检测基于UE以及其与专用基站的关系的信息。The characteristic of the private cell reselection of the present invention is that the search of the private base station is based on the proximity to the private base station that the UE has operation authority, and the proximity detection is based on the information of the UE and its relationship with the private base station.

这样做的优点是:当UE处于空闲状态时,除非邻近其具有接入权限的小区时,UE不进行小区重选搜索、测量以及与专用基站的信令交互操作。而且,不需要在小区中广播大量的NCL,UE就可以确定其是否邻近该专用基站。这样从根本上减少了系统的搜索、测量和其它信令的执行。The advantage of this is that when the UE is in an idle state, unless it is adjacent to a cell that it has access rights to, the UE does not perform cell reselection search, measurement, and signaling interaction with the private base station. Also, the UE can determine whether it is adjacent to the private base station without broadcasting a large number of NCLs in the cell. This substantially reduces the amount of search, measurement and other signaling performed by the system.

在本发明的一个实施例中,由UE执行邻近度检测。In one embodiment of the invention, proximity detection is performed by the UE.

在本发明的一个实施例中,由公共基站执行邻近度检测。In one embodiment of the invention, proximity detection is performed by a public base station.

在本发明的一个实施例中,由专用基站执行邻近度检测。In one embodiment of the invention, proximity detection is performed by a private base station.

在本发明的一个实施例中,邻近度检测基于在UE具有接入权限的专用基站覆盖的专用小区和与其邻近的公共小区或其它邻近的专用小区间的小区关系。其优点是利用小区关系信息可以有效地执行邻近度检测,而且在正常的操作中,通过UE或网络可以很容易采集到小区关系信息。In one embodiment of the present invention, the proximity detection is based on the cell relationship between the private cell covered by the private base station that the UE has access rights to and its neighboring public cells or other neighboring private cells. The advantage is that the proximity detection can be effectively performed by using the cell relationship information, and in normal operation, the cell relationship information can be easily collected through the UE or the network.

详细的实施例和本发明中专用小区重选的优点将结合附图举例说明。The detailed embodiments and the advantages of private cell reselection in the present invention will be illustrated with reference to the accompanying drawings.

具体实施方式 Detailed ways

在包含专用基站的系统中,需要一个能有效处理UE接入到专用基站的有效流程,特别是对专用基站的测量、搜索、以及网络中信令的处理。In a system including a private base station, an effective process that can effectively handle the access of the UE to the private base station is required, especially the measurement and search of the private base station, and the processing of signaling in the network.

文献[1]表明一些研究人员已经开始研究LTE中专用基站的需求,具体的,下面列出了文献[1]中关于空闲模式移动性的要求。Document [1] indicates that some researchers have begun to study the requirements of dedicated base stations in LTE. Specifically, the requirements on idle mode mobility in document [1] are listed below.

I 如果不允许UE使用(use)覆盖某个特定小区的专用基站,则应避免LTE空闲状态的UE接入该特定的小区。I If the UE is not allowed to use (use) a private base station covering a particular cell, UEs in LTE idle state should be prevented from accessing that particular cell.

II 如果不允许UE接入(access)覆盖某个特定小区的专用基站,则应避免LTE空闲状态的UE在该特定的小区中驻留。II If the UE is not allowed to access a private base station covering a particular cell, camping of UEs in LTE idle state in that particular cell should be avoided.

III 如果不允许UE接入(access)某个特定的专用基站,应减小LTE空闲状态的UE针对该专用基站的测量次数。III If the UE is not allowed to access (access) a specific private base station, the number of measurements for the private base station by the UE in the LTE idle state should be reduced.

IV 如果不允许UE接入(access)某个特定的专用基站,应减小在另一个无线接入技术(Radio Access Technology,RAT)中处于任意小区重选状态的UE针对该专用基站的测量次数。IV If the UE is not allowed to access (access) a specific private base station, the number of measurements of the private base station by the UE in any cell reselection state in another radio access technology (Radio Access Technology, RAT) should be reduced .

V 允许接入小区的UE的重选参数是可以设置的,这样UE可以区分专用基站的优先次序。V The reselection parameters of the UE allowed to access the cell can be set, so that the UE can distinguish the priority of the private base station.

对文献[5]的分析表明,其中并没有提出当UE没有位于CTS的邻近区域时,避免UE搜索CTS小区的方法。因此该文献提出的解决方案并没有满足上述IV的要求。The analysis of the literature [5] shows that there is no method for preventing the UE from searching for the CTS cell when the UE is not located in the vicinity of the CTS. Therefore, the solution proposed in this document does not meet the requirements of IV above.

此外,文献[2]并未提出任何方法来控制如何减少对专用基站的测量。因此该文献提出解决方案并没有满足上述III-IV的要求。In addition, the literature [2] does not propose any method to control how to reduce the measurement of the private base station. Therefore, the solution proposed in this document does not meet the requirements of III-IV above.

这里的UE可以和两种无线电通信系统进行通信,一种系统中包括专用基站,另一种系统中包括公共基站。其中公共基站是指没有任何接入限制,覆盖面很广的普通基站,其覆盖的区域比如为:普通的公共通信系统中的大区域宏小区。在这样的大区域宏小区的覆盖区域内,可能包含上百个专用小区。为了避免覆盖宏小区的广播信道负荷过重,进一步要求邻近度检测不能仅仅依靠广播相邻小区列表。而广播相邻小区列表是背景技术中控制小区重选的传统方法。The UE here can communicate with two radio communication systems, one system includes a dedicated base station, and the other system includes a public base station. The public base station refers to an ordinary base station without any access restriction and has a wide coverage area, such as a large-area macro cell in an ordinary public communication system. In the coverage area of such a large-area macro cell, hundreds of private cells may be included. In order to avoid the overload of the broadcast channel covering the macro cell, it is further required that the proximity detection cannot only rely on broadcasting the neighbor cell list. Broadcasting the neighbor cell list is a traditional method for controlling cell reselection in the background art.

根据本发明,空闲模式的UE小区重选流程中包括邻近参数的使用。就小区重选而言,UE应基于与其可以接入的专用基站的邻近度搜索专用小区。所以根据本发明,对专用基站的搜索基于与UE具有接入权限的专用基站的邻近度。此外,根据UE以及其与专用基站的关系的信息,可以判断UE是否邻近该专用基站。换句话说,该判断基于与所讨论的特定UE相关的信息。因此,既然广播大的NCL需要很多信令,在小区中不需要增加NCL广播的信令开销就能够明显的降低小区的开销。According to the present invention, the UE cell reselection procedure in idle mode includes the use of the neighbor parameter. For cell reselection, the UE should search for a private cell based on the proximity to private base stations it can access. So according to the invention, the search for private base stations is based on the proximity to private base stations to which the UE has access rights. In addition, according to information about the UE and its relationship with the private base station, it can be determined whether the UE is adjacent to the private base station. In other words, the decision is based on information related to the particular UE in question. Therefore, since broadcasting a large NCL requires a lot of signaling, the overhead of the cell can be significantly reduced without increasing the signaling overhead of NCL broadcasting in the cell.

根据本发明的不同实施例,用于专用小区重选的邻近度参数可由UE、专用基站、公共基站检测或通过其它方法检测。如果UE本身没有检测到邻近度参数,则检测到该参数的设备需要将该邻近度参数指示给UE。According to different embodiments of the present invention, the proximity parameter for private cell reselection may be detected by UE, private base station, public base station or by other methods. If the UE itself does not detect the proximity parameter, the device that has detected the parameter needs to indicate the proximity parameter to the UE.

根据本发明,邻近度指示是这样一种指示,即为了驻留或进行激活模式会话,或两者兼有,对特定专用基站有接入权限的UE接近了该特定基站或进入了该特定基站的覆盖范围。According to the present invention, a proximity indication is an indication that a UE having access rights to a particular private base station approaches or enters a particular base station in order to camp on or conduct an active mode session, or both coverage.

根据本发明,仅在UE邻近该UE有接入权限的专用基站时,对该专用基站进行小区重选搜索。According to the present invention, a cell reselection search is performed on a private base station to which the UE has access rights only when the UE is adjacent to the private base station.

这样做的优点是除非处于空闲模式的UE接近其具有接入权限的专用基站,否则不会在专用基站上浪费小区重选搜索、测量和其它信令。通过这种方式从根本上减少了搜索、测量和其它系统中使用的信令。所以,本发明的空闲模式小区重选流程满足了上述I-V的要求。This has the advantage that cell reselection searches, measurements and other signaling are not wasted on private base stations unless a UE in idle mode is close to a private base station to which it has access rights. In this way the signaling used in search, survey and other systems is substantially reduced. Therefore, the idle mode cell reselection procedure of the present invention satisfies the above-mentioned requirements of I-V.

系统中可能存在很多不同的邻近度检测机制。如邻近度检测可以是分等级的,初级的邻近度机制可以触发使用更细致的机制。比如,可以在识别诸如某一位置区域、跟踪区域或路由区域后,使用更细致的机制。There may be many different proximity detection mechanisms in the system. As proximity detection can be hierarchical, primary proximity mechanisms can trigger the use of more granular mechanisms. For example, more granular mechanisms could be used after identification such as a location area, tracking area or routing area.

在本发明的一个实施例中,邻近度检测由UE执行,即UE检测与其具有接入权限的专用基站的邻近度。检测基于存储和识别与特定专用小区相邻或者相接近小区的相关信息。因此,UE会存储专有小区与其周围小区的小区信息和小区关系信息。这些信息可以被存储在用户识别模块(SubscriberIdentity Module,SIM)卡或UE的其它存储设备中。当UE在专用小区驻留或离开专用小区的时候,可从处于激活模式的邻近小区读取信息来建立这些信息。In one embodiment of the present invention, the proximity detection is performed by the UE, that is, the UE detects the proximity of the private base station with which it has access rights. Detection is based on storing and identifying information about cells that are adjacent or in close proximity to a particular private cell. Therefore, the UE will store the cell information and cell relationship information of the dedicated cell and its surrounding cells. These information may be stored in a Subscriber Identity Module (Subscriber Identity Module, SIM) card or other storage devices of the UE. This information may be established by reading information from neighboring cells in active mode when the UE camps on or leaves the private cell.

另一方面,基于操作和维护(Operations and Maintenance,O&M)网络模式,网络可为UE提供该信息。当网络O&M模式发生改变时,或定制信息改变时,可在UE中对该信息进行更新:例如通过使用“SIM卡工具箱(SIM-toolkit)”的短消息(并不经常使用),定制的短消息(基于移动性)或跟踪区更新时的短消息(当UE进入具有专用小区的TA时)。On the other hand, based on the operation and maintenance (Operations and Maintenance, O&M) network mode, the network can provide the information to the UE. When the network O&M mode changes, or when the customized information changes, the information can be updated in the UE: for example by using the short message of "SIM-toolkit (SIM-toolkit)" (not often used), customized Short message (mobility based) or short message on tracking area update (when UE enters TA with dedicated cell).

图2为小区关系信息所包含的内容的一个示例。如图2所示,UE存储与允许其接入的专用基站相关的信息,如图2中的PBS-3,与相邻公共小区、宏小区mNB-1和mNB-2相关的信息,以及UE没有接入权限的其它专用基站相关信息,如PB2到PB5。Fig. 2 is an example of the content contained in the cell relationship information. As shown in Figure 2, the UE stores information related to private base stations that it is allowed to access, such as PBS-3 in Figure 2, information related to neighboring public cells, macro cells mNB-1 and mNB-2, and UE Information about other private base stations without access rights, such as PB2 to PB5.

小区关系信息也可以存储在网络节点中,如公共基站或专用基站中。Cell relationship information can also be stored in network nodes, such as public base stations or private base stations.

无论小区关系信息存储在什么地方,都可以包含与至少一个UE具有接入权限的专用基站相关的信息,与至少一个相邻专用基站相关的信息,与至少一个相邻公共基站相关的信息,与逻辑小区值(LCV),载频,小区ID,或公共公众陆地移动网络(PLMN)相关的信息。No matter where the cell relationship information is stored, it may contain information related to at least one private base station that the UE has access rights to, information related to at least one adjacent private base station, information related to at least one adjacent public base station, and information related to at least one adjacent public base station. Logical Cell Value (LCV), carrier frequency, cell ID, or public public land mobile network (PLMN) related information.

UE在网络中漫游时,保持跟踪相邻的小区。当UE识别到一个或几个定义在其小区关系映射表中的小区时,UE开始搜索其具有接入权限的专用基站。换句话说,当UE发现自身处于任意一个邻近其具有接入权限的专用基站的小区内,UE可以通过分析自身的小区关系信息得出结论:UE在其具有接入权限的专用基站附近。这时UE开始对该专用基站执行小区重选搜索。When the UE roams in the network, it keeps track of neighboring cells. When the UE recognizes one or several cells defined in its cell relationship mapping table, the UE starts to search for a private base station that it has access rights to. In other words, when the UE finds itself in any cell adjacent to the private base station it has access rights to, the UE can analyze its own cell relationship information to conclude that the UE is near the private base station it has access rights to. At this time, the UE starts to perform cell reselection search on the private base station.

基于与小区和小区关系相关的信息来检测邻近度,其好处是在正常操作的过程中,UE或网络可以很容易的收集到该信息,从而使邻近度检测更有效。The advantage of detecting proximity based on information related to cells and cell relationships is that the UE or the network can easily collect this information during normal operation, thereby making proximity detection more effective.

另一方面,UE可利用定位技术来检测与其具有接入权限的专用基站的邻近度,如全球定位系统(Global Position System,GPS)位置技术,或Galileo定位技术。这样做的优点是可以非常容易得到精确的地理位置。On the other hand, the UE may use a positioning technology to detect the proximity of a dedicated base station that it has access to, such as a Global Position System (Global Position System, GPS) positioning technology, or a Galileo positioning technology. The advantage of this is that it is very easy to get precise geographic location.

还可以是,UE利用其他UE应用技术来检测邻近度。如果UE能够运行其他应用技术,如无线局域网(Wireless Local Area Network,WLAN),蓝牙或类似技术,UE可以使用这些技术检测邻近度。如UE可以识别一个已知的小范围无线网络,如蓝牙或WLAN网络,然后可以在邻近度检测中利用此识别结果。UE也可以运行特定UE应用技术,该应用技术可以给UE提供其与专用基站的邻近度相关的信息,比如,当UE可用作远程控制器用来打开车库,前门,或其它远程控制的设备时。It is also possible that the UE uses other UE application technologies to detect the proximity. If the UE is capable of running other application technologies such as Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), Bluetooth or similar technologies, the UE can use these technologies to detect proximity. For example, the UE can identify a known short-range wireless network, such as a Bluetooth or WLAN network, and then use this identification result in proximity detection. The UE may also run UE-specific applications that provide the UE with information about its proximity to a private base station, for example, when the UE can be used as a remote controller to open garages, front doors, or other remotely controlled devices .

由于新小区的加入或其它小区布局重配置,公共网络的小区规划有时也需要更新。当这种情况发生的时候,专用小区与公共网络小区之间的关系也可能发生改变,如图3所示。Due to the addition of new cells or other cell layout reconfigurations, the cell plan of the public network also sometimes needs to be updated. When this happens, the relationship between the private cell and the public network cell may also change, as shown in FIG. 3 .

从图3中可以看出,在小区重新配置前后,专用小区和公共网络中的不同小区交迭在一起,图中为小区1和小区2。It can be seen from Fig. 3 that before and after cell reconfiguration, private cells and different cells in the public network are overlapped together, and cell 1 and cell 2 are shown in the figure.

在图3所示情况下,UE可能会试图利用其小区关系信息来搜索专用基站,但由于小区的布局发生了改变,邻近度指示没有被调用,UE将不会搜索专用基站。In the situation shown in Figure 3, the UE may try to use its cell relationship information to search for a private base station, but since the layout of the cell has changed and the proximity indication is not invoked, the UE will not search for a private base station.

在本发明的一个实施例中,小区布局重新配置后,广播的小区信息包括新的小区信息和配置前小区的小区信息,即旧的小区信息。这个额外的信息将被广播一段时间,UE就可以知道它们需要更新哪些与之相关的小区信息。In an embodiment of the present invention, after the cell layout is reconfigured, the broadcast cell information includes the new cell information and the cell information of the pre-configured cell, that is, the old cell information. This additional information will be broadcast for a period of time so that UEs know which cell information they need to update related to them.

如果在这段时间内,UE并没有获得该额外的信息,那么UE就不得不手动选择专用小区,更新小区关系信息。下面的情况下也可以使用这种方法,在家里或建筑物中,专用基站的所有者将专用基站移动了位置,也会改变小区的关系。If the UE does not obtain the additional information within this period of time, the UE has to manually select a dedicated cell and update the cell relationship information. This method can also be used when the owner of the private base station moves the private base station at home or in a building, which also changes the relationship between the cells.

本发明中,保持小区关系信息更新的优点是,邻近度检测可以一直基于连续更新的小区关系信息。In the present invention, the advantage of keeping the cell relationship information updated is that the proximity detection can always be based on the continuously updated cell relationship information.

根据本发明的实施例,公共网络节点可以发起或执行邻近度检测。According to an embodiment of the invention, a public network node may initiate or perform proximity detection.

典型地,网络中存在大量处于空闲模式的UE,这些UE与网络进行有限的信息交互。因此在出现大量处于空闲模式的UE时,应避免大量的信令负荷。Typically, there are a large number of UEs in idle mode in the network, and these UEs perform limited information interaction with the network. Therefore, when there are a large number of UEs in idle mode, a large amount of signaling load should be avoided.

因此,根据本发明的实施例,UE在和专用小区具有同一地理覆盖区域的TA中注册时,网络为UE提供搜索参数来命令UE搜索其具有接入权限的专用小区。较优的方法是利用网络中的TA更新(TAU)响应消息。Therefore, according to an embodiment of the present invention, when a UE is registered in a TA having the same geographical coverage area as a private cell, the network provides the UE with search parameters to command the UE to search for a private cell to which it has access rights. A better method is to use the TA update (TAU) response message in the network.

使用TA信令提供搜索参数的优点是,可以利用现有的信令交互,如跟踪区更新信令就是系统已有信令。The advantage of using TA signaling to provide search parameters is that existing signaling interactions can be utilized, for example, tracking area update signaling is existing signaling in the system.

然而,由于TA的覆盖区域相当大,而UE是在整个TA中搜索其专用小区,因此电池功效不可能总是非常高。However, since the coverage area of a TA is quite large and the UE searches for its private cell throughout the TA, battery power efficiency cannot always be very high.

根据本发明的一个实施例,CN进一步向UE发送请求作为对TAU的响应。该请求要求UE进入TA的特定小区时(或某一列表中的任何小区,该列表包含多个小区),发送额外的TAU信息。当UE进入与UE具有接入权限的专用小区接近或直接相邻的小区,被要求在该小区中发送额外TAU信息。来自网络的最后一个TAU响应消息响应额外的TAU消息,该响应消息中包括了命令UE搜索特定专用小区的搜索参数。According to an embodiment of the present invention, the CN further sends a request to the UE as a response to the TAU. This request requires the UE to send additional TAU information when entering a specific cell of the TA (or any cell in some list, the list contains multiple cells). When a UE enters a cell that is close to or directly adjacent to a dedicated cell that the UE has access rights to, it is required to send additional TAU information in this cell. The additional TAU message is responded to by the last TAU response message from the network, which includes search parameters ordering the UE to search for a specific private cell.

进一步,根据来自位于专用小区附近的、处于活动模式的UE的测量报告,网络可以为该专用小区建立和更新小区关系信息。尤其来自UE的相邻小区测量报告对维护用于邻近度检测的小区相关信息非常有用,这里UE属于允许使用专用基站的闭合用户群。Further, the network can establish and update cell relationship information for the private cell according to measurement reports from UEs in active mode located near the private cell. Especially neighbor cell measurement reports from UEs are very useful for maintaining cell related information for proximity detection, where the UE belongs to a closed user group that is allowed to use private base stations.

正如上文提到的,对于每个UE来说,网络控制邻近度检测或网络控制小区重选,都具有非常易于与闭合用户群相结合而执行的优点。As mentioned above, for each UE, network-controlled proximity detection or network-controlled cell reselection has the advantage of being very easy to implement in combination with closed user groups.

还可用一种混合方法来执行邻近度检测。针对UE可以访问的专用基站,网络在TAU更新响应信息中为UE提供与专用小区周围小区相关的小区关系信息。这样,就由UE来负责判定何时开始对专用基站的搜索。A hybrid approach can also be used to perform proximity detection. For the private base stations that the UE can access, the network provides the UE with cell relationship information related to the surrounding cells of the private cell in the TAU update response information. Thus, it is the UE's responsibility to decide when to start the search for the private base station.

混合方法的优点是信令开支比纯粹的网络控制邻近度检测要小。同时,UE也不需要在很长一段时间内存储网络信息及可能还有的闭合用户群信息,从而减小了UE存储的信息过时的风险。The advantage of the hybrid approach is that the signaling overhead is smaller than purely network-controlled proximity detection. At the same time, the UE does not need to store network information and possibly closed user group information for a long period of time, thereby reducing the risk of outdated information stored by the UE.

根据本发明的实施例,执行邻近度检测的网络节点也可以是一个外部电子实体,识别出现在专用小区覆盖区域内的用户。例如,作为具有邻近度检测器功能的外部电子实体,可以是一个报警器,如运动检测器,报警启动/停止,车库进出口启动,电子钥匙系统,车辆检测,冰箱开门检测器,声音检测器,立体声系统/无线电接收装置/个人计算机/灯光检测器或其他类似的装置。According to an embodiment of the present invention, the network node performing the proximity detection may also be an external electronic entity identifying users present within the coverage area of the private cell. For example, as an external electronic entity with a proximity detector function, it could be an alarm such as motion detector, alarm start/stop, garage entry and exit activation, electronic key system, vehicle detection, refrigerator door open detector, sound detector , stereo system/radio receiver/personal computer/light detector or other similar devices.

本领域技术人员可以知道,有大量的外部电子实体可用于确定UE用户的位置,这些电子实体可能包括各种传感器。本领域技术人员知道除以上提到的电子实体以外,其他外部电子实体中的传感器也很容易用来实现本发明。Those skilled in the art may know that there are a large number of external electronic entities that can be used to determine the location of the UE user, and these electronic entities may include various sensors. Those skilled in the art know that besides the electronic entities mentioned above, sensors in other external electronic entities can be easily used to implement the present invention.

外部电子实体产生的邻近度检测指示可以触发网络向UE发送额外信息,该信息与专用小区可用性相关。正如上面描述的,UE可以使用这些信息判断是否搜索和测量该UE具有接入权限且与该UE所处位置临近的专用基站。The proximity detection indication generated by the external electronic entity may trigger the network to send additional information to the UE, which information is related to the availability of the private cell. As described above, the UE can use these information to determine whether to search for and measure a private base station that the UE has access rights and is close to the location of the UE.

使用外部电子实体进行邻近度检测的优点是,可以使用已经在多个家庭应用的,或未来可应用在众多家庭设备中的便宜的传感器技术。The advantage of using an external electronic entity for proximity detection is that it is possible to use inexpensive sensor technology that is already in use in many homes, or that will be available in many home devices in the future.

本发明的实施例中,邻近度检测也可由专用基站执行。在本发明的实施例中,专用基站经由公共基站向UE提供检测相关的信息,提供的方法同公共基站检测邻近度一样。专用基站经由公共基站通知UE邻近度已检测,并命令UE开始搜索专用基站。In embodiments of the present invention, proximity detection may also be performed by a dedicated base station. In the embodiment of the present invention, the private base station provides detection-related information to the UE via the public base station, and the method provided is the same as that of the public base station for detecting proximity. The private base station notifies the UE that the proximity has been detected via the public base station, and commands the UE to start searching for the private base station.

目前,专用基站的所有权并不明确。一种可能的情况是业主也同样拥有放置在其家中的专用基站。不能期望业主像网络运营者那样对专用小区执行复杂的网络规划和配置工作,因此从业主的角度,专用小区需要能够自主的配置。既然业主可以将专用基站放在任何合适的地方,从网络运营者的角度看,专用小区的覆盖范围是没有一定规划的。Currently, the ownership of private base stations is unclear. One possibility is that homeowners also have dedicated base stations placed in their homes. Owners cannot be expected to perform complex network planning and configuration work on private cells like network operators. Therefore, from the perspective of owners, private cells need to be able to configure autonomously. Since the owner can place the private base station in any suitable place, from the perspective of the network operator, the coverage of the private cell is not planned.

图4给出了一个实例,这里有两个专用小区(小区1和小区2)和一个公共小区(小区3),其中专用小区由专用基站覆盖。Figure 4 shows an example where there are two private cells (cell 1 and cell 2) and one public cell (cell 3), where the private cell is covered by a private base station.

专用小区和附近的小区可以没有直接的覆盖关系,如图4中的专用小区2,即其可以没有直接的相邻小区。当专用基站放置在房屋的地下室时就可能出现这样的情况。A private cell may not have a direct coverage relationship with nearby cells, such as private cell 2 in FIG. 4 , that is, it may not have a direct neighboring cell. This can be the case when a dedicated base station is placed in the basement of a house.

图4中,当处于空闲状态的UE从小区3漫游到小区2,将有一段时间不能与网络保持联系。网络也寻呼不到该UE,即UE“不在覆盖区”。在公共通讯系统中,当UE发现自己不在服务区,在一段时间内将试图寻找其原有小区(小区3),然后执行对其他小区的搜索。In Fig. 4, when a UE in an idle state roams from cell 3 to cell 2, it will not be able to keep in touch with the network for a period of time. The network cannot page the UE either, that is, the UE is "not in the coverage area". In a public communication system, when the UE finds itself out of the service area, it will try to find its original cell (cell 3) for a period of time, and then perform a search for other cells.

根据本发明的实施例,UE基于这样一个公共小区覆盖条件的状态来执行邻近度的检测。特别的,作为邻近度检测的一种特殊情况,当UE不在服务区时,UE优先检测其已知的且具有接入权限的专用小区。更确切的说,UE优先搜索其已知的、没有直接相邻小区的专用小区。According to an embodiment of the present invention, the UE performs proximity detection based on the status of such a public cell coverage condition. In particular, as a special case of the proximity detection, when the UE is not in the service area, the UE preferentially detects a dedicated cell that it knows and has access rights to. More precisely, the UE preferentially searches for private cells that it knows have no immediate neighbors.

根据以上描述的小区关系信息使用方法,如果UE对周围小区有进一步的认识,UE利用这些认识进一步确定搜索哪个小区。According to the method for using the cell relationship information described above, if the UE has further knowledge of surrounding cells, the UE can use these knowledge to further determine which cell to search for.

文献[4]提出了向UE发送明确的小区优先权。在本发明的实施例中,该思想被扩展为还包括作为选择优先级的邻近度指示。Document [4] proposes to send explicit cell priority to UE. In an embodiment of the invention, this idea is extended to also include a proximity indication as selection priority.

根据本发明的实施例,通过包括邻近度检测中的覆盖条件状态参数,相比于UE没有任何搜索目标线索的情况,此时UE重获服务的速度很可能可以明显地加快。According to the embodiment of the present invention, by including the coverage condition state parameter in the proximity detection, compared with the case where the UE does not have any search target clues, the speed at which the UE re-acquires the service may be significantly accelerated at this time.

在本发明的实施例中,两次专用小区重选搜索的时间间隔取决于UE和专用基站之间的距离。距离较小时,时间间隔相对较短,相反,距离较大时时间间隔相对较长。In the embodiment of the present invention, the time interval between two private cell reselection searches depends on the distance between the UE and the private base station. When the distance is small, the time interval is relatively short, and conversely, when the distance is large, the time interval is relatively long.

本发明的实施例中,UE被指示或存储与专用小区覆盖条件状况相关的额外信息,即专用小区是“可服务”或“不可服务”。当UE处于别的小区的覆盖范围,且专用小区为“不可服务”时,UE利用这些额外信息,从而不搜索专用小区。因此,根据本发明实施例,当专用基站“不可服务”时,不需要执行不必要的搜索。In the embodiment of the present invention, the UE is indicated or stored additional information related to the coverage condition of the private cell, that is, whether the private cell is "servable" or "unserviceable". When the UE is in the coverage of other cells and the private cell is "unserviceable", the UE uses these additional information so as not to search for the private cell. Therefore, according to an embodiment of the present invention, when a private base station is "unserviceable", unnecessary searches need not be performed.

进一步,当专用小区配置成一种干扰减小模式,专用基站对UE来说可能是不可见的。Further, when the private cell is configured in an interference reduction mode, the private base station may not be visible to the UE.

根据本发明的实施例,UE可能已经知道其处于专用基站的附近,依然会试图寻找该专用基站的非连续传输(DTX)模式,并向专用基站发送随机接入脉冲,该随机接入脉冲可能具有特殊前导,将专用基站转入正常工作模式。当专用基站“不可服务”时,如果专用基站关闭或当时处于其他功率保护模式,可以使用上述方法。According to the embodiment of the present invention, the UE may already know that it is in the vicinity of the private base station, but still tries to find the discontinuous transmission (DTX) mode of the private base station, and sends a random access burst to the private base station, and the random access burst may With a special preamble, turn the private base station into normal working mode. The method described above may be used when the private base station is "unserviceable", if the private base station is turned off or is in some other power conservation mode at the time.

尤其是,这在UE需要向不可服务的专用基站发送紧急呼叫的情况下十分重要。使用本发明的实施例,增大了专用小区内进行紧急呼叫的可能性。In particular, this is important in case a UE needs to send an emergency call to an unservable private base station. Using embodiments of the present invention, the possibility of making emergency calls within a private cell is increased.

因此,本发明涉及一种用于在公共网络中处于空闲模式的用户设备(UE)进行专用小区重选的系统,公共网络至少包括一个覆盖公共小区的公共基站,UE也能够用来和专用网络进行通信,专用网络至少包括一个覆盖专用小区的专用基站,UE在专用网络中具有有限的接入权限;其中:Accordingly, the present invention relates to a system for private cell reselection by a user equipment (UE) in idle mode in a public network comprising at least one public base station covering the public cell, the UE also being able to communicate with the private network For communication, the private network includes at least one private base station covering the private cell, and the UE has limited access rights in the private network; where:

-UE,用于:仅当UE邻近其具有接入权限的专用基站时,执行专用小区重选搜索;- a UE configured to: perform a private cell reselection search only when the UE is adjacent to a private base station to which it has access rights;

-网络节点,用于仅当UE邻近其具有接入权限的专用基站时,与所述UE进行专用小区重选搜索的通信,该UE具有专用小区的接入权限;- a network node for communicating with a UE for a private cell reselection search only when the UE is in the vicinity of a private base station to which it has access, the UE having access to a private cell;

这里邻近度检测基于UE以及其与专用基站的关系的信息。Here the proximity detection is based on the information of the UE and its relation to the private base station.

本发明还涉及执行小区重选的UE和网络节点的相应方法及装置。The invention also relates to corresponding methods and devices for UEs and network nodes performing cell reselection.

本发明中执行专用小区重选的UE和网络节点可用于执行本发明方法的任何步骤。唯一的要求是,该步骤包括该UE或网络节点。The UE and the network node performing dedicated cell reselection in the present invention can be used to perform any steps of the method of the present invention. The only requirement is that this step involves the UE or network node.

本领域技术人员可以依照以上描述的实施例,对本发明的专用小区重选方法进行修改。Those skilled in the art can modify the private cell reselection method of the present invention according to the embodiments described above.
