Embodiment
Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in the embodiment of the invention, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the invention is clearly and completely described.Obviously, described embodiment only is the present invention's part embodiment, rather than whole embodiment.Based on the embodiment among the present invention, those of ordinary skills belong to the scope of protection of the invention not making the every other embodiment that is obtained under the creative work prerequisite.
For complexity, the minimizing UE power consumption that reduces the sub-district gravity treatment.The embodiment of the invention provides a kind of small region search method, as shown in Figure 2, comprising:
201, from the broadcast message of the macrocell at place, obtain the CSG cell information;
202, judge that closed signed user group cell information is consistent with the fingerprint letter of the closed signed user group cell of storage, then the pairing closed signed user group cell of this closed signed user group cell information is the coupling closed signed user group cell;
203 in the coupling CSG cell range of obtaining, and searches for.
In embodiments of the present invention, macrocell is broadcasted all adjacent CSG cell informations.Therefore, UE can directly obtain CSG cell information in the macrocell signal cover and the CSG cell information that is adjacent.In these CSG sub-districts, find out coupling CSG sub-district.Only in the coupling CSG cell range that UE obtains, search for.Compare with existing automatic search, reduced the scope of user equipment searches sub-district, reached and reduced the complexity of sub-district gravity treatment and the purpose of economize on electricity.
Below method of cell reselection is described in further detail:
201, from the broadcast message of the macrocell at place, obtain the CSG cell information
As shown in Figure 1: UE, CSG sub-district D and E are in the signal cover of macrocell B; CSG sub-district C, F, G and K are the adjacent C SG sub-districts of macrocell B.In embodiments of the present invention, macrocell B not only broadcasts the cell information of CSG sub-district D and E, also broadcasts the cell information of adjacent C SG sub-district C, F, G and K.In Fig. 1, only show four adjacent C SG sub-districts, a plurality of such adjacent C SG sub-districts should be arranged in the reality.
UE reads the broadcast message of macrocell B, just can obtain the cell information of the CSG sub-district in the macrocell B signal cover and the cell information of adjacent C SG sub-district.
202, judge that closed signed user group cell information is consistent with the finger print information of the closed signed user group cell of storage, then the pairing closed signed user group cell of this closed signed user group cell information is the coupling closed signed user group cell; This step specifically comprises following process:
The finger print information of the CSG sub-district of memory resident/inserted as shown in Figure 3,301,
UE was resident in the past/inserted CSG sub-district D, E, F, G and K, so UE stores the finger print information of CSG sub-district D, E, F, G and K; This finger print information includes but not limited to frequency, scrambler, the position of CSG sub-district, the corresponding relation of CSG sub-district and place macrocell;
When UE moves to macrocell B from macrocell A; UE determines own in the signal cover of macrocell B from the broadcast of macrocell B.UE determines in the signal cover of macrocell B that according to the corresponding relation of CSG sub-district and macrocell B CSG sub-district D, E, F, G and K are arranged.Finger print informations such as the frequency of definite then CSG sub-district D, E, F, G and K, scrambler, position.
302, judge whether the CSG cell information is consistent with the finger print information of the CSG sub-district of storage; This step specifically comprises following process:
The CSG cell information that will obtain from broadcast and CSG sub-district D, E, F, G and K finger print information compare;
If there is the CSG sub-district of two information unanimities, as D, E and F fingerprint matching, and UE once inserted this three sub-districts, and trigger search to these three sub-districts;
If it is inconsistent, as G and K, though UE has stored finger print information, but some information of G and K have taken place to change and have caused the finger print information of UE storage expired for some reason, thereby cause fingerprint not match, then do not insert G and these two sub-districts of K before the UE, UE does not search for these two sub-districts, deletes the finger print information (expired) of these two sub-districts simultaneously;
203, in the coupling CSG cell range of obtaining, search for.
In embodiments of the present invention, only in the coupling CSG cell range that UE obtains, search for.Compare with existing automatic search, reduced the scope of user equipment searches sub-district, reached and reduced the complexity of sub-district gravity treatment and the purpose of economize on electricity.
So far, cell search process finishes.
When fingerprint does not match, carry out the search of adjacent area on every side according to current mechanism, the closed signed user sub-district is got rid of in the hunting zone.Carry out the sub-district gravity treatment simultaneously.This is a prior art, repeats no more.
According to Search Results, determine gravity treatment CSG sub-district.Shown in Fig. 4,5, detailed process is as follows:
401, determine the signal quality of coupling CSG sub-district;
402, from described coupling CSG sub-district, the select-out signal quality satisfies the CSG sub-district of inserting threshold value, as candidate CSG sub-district;
403, the signal quality to described candidate CSG sub-district sorts from high to low.
Following step is choosing of CSG sub-district.Divide in two kinds of situation below and be introduced: a kind of UE of being self maintained has white list, this white list has been stored the information of the signatory CSG sub-district that can insert of this UE, as CSG ID, and correspondent frequency information, PSC (Primary Scrambling Code, main scrambler) information etc.Self does not safeguard white list a kind of UE of being.
One, UE self does not safeguard white list
404 ', choose the CSG sub-district that signal quality makes number one, as gravity treatment CSG sub-district.
405 ', initiate lane place (LA)/route district (RA) renewal process to network side: the success of location area renewal process, subscriber equipment resides in current area.
406 ', location area upgrades failure, subscriber equipment is selected the sub-district of ordering second, as gravity treatment CSG sub-district.Carry out 405 ' step and begin to pass judgment on, by that analogy.
Two, the UE self maintained has white list
404 ", choose the CSG sub-district that signal quality makes number one;
405 ", read the broadcast of described CSG sub-district, obtain CSG ID;
UE uses corresponding scrambler to remove to measure the signal of sub-district on corresponding frequencies;
UE reads the broadcast of CSG sub-district and obtains CSG ID;
There is CSG indicator (indication) the CSG sub-district in MIB (management information bank) message, be used to indicate whether a sub-district is the CSG sub-district, if that indication is Ture, shows that this sub-district is the CSG sub-district, and UE removes to continue to read CSG ID more then.This is a prior art, repeats no more.
406 ", determine that this CSG ID is whether in the white list of UE;
If, then this CSG sub-district is as re-selecting cell; Initiate lane place (LA)/route district (RA) renewal process to network side: the success of location area renewal process, subscriber equipment resides in current area.
If do not exist, described CSG sub-district can not be as re-selecting cell.Subscriber equipment is selected the sub-district of ordering second, as gravity treatment CSG sub-district.Carry out 405 ") step and begin to pass judgment on, by that analogy.
Existing automatic hunting zone is very wide, comprises all common sub-districts and CSG sub-district.When carrying out gravity treatment, to select different criterions at different situations.Complicated operation, very power consumption.
The embodiment of the invention has been dwindled the hunting zone, has simplified reselection criterion.Only use existing 3GPP standard agreement S criterion and R criterion to carry out cell reselection process.Step 401,402 has embodied the S criterion; Step 403,404 ' embodied R criterion (notion of step 403,404 ' described signal quality has concrete definition in 3GPP standard agreement R criterion, no longer launch explanation herein).Electric weight compared with prior art simple to operate, as to save UE.
In the above two kinds of cases, if can't determine gravity treatment CSG sub-district, a timer is set.In the timer timing time, in all the adjacent area scopes except that the CSG sub-district, search for.Timer expiry, in described coupling CSG cell range, search again is to determine gravity treatment CSG sub-district again.
The setting of timer can be issued by broadcast.The timing length of timer is provided with by the user.The standard value of supposing timer is T.Utilize multiplier factor to regulate the timing length of timer.
UE is in moving process, and the signal power of CSG sub-district can change.In order in time to search the CSG sub-district, it is suitable that the timing length of timer is provided with.
The setting of timer timing length: when subscriber equipment was in high-speed motion state, it is shorter that the place a little less than the signal quality moves to the time ratio that the strong place of signal quality needs.The weak point that the timing length of timer can be provided with some.Can select to take advantage of the value T of timer less than 1 multiplier factor; When subscriber equipment was in the low-speed motion state, it is long that the place a little less than the signal quality moves to the time that the strong place of signal quality needs.It is longer that the timing length of timer can be provided with.The value T of timer is taken advantage of in selection greater than 1 multiplier factor.Described multiplier factor can be issued by broadcast equally.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a kind of subscriber equipment, as shown in Figure 6, comprise: memory module: be used for the finger print information of the CSG sub-district of memory resident/inserted, this finger print information includes but not limited to frequency, scrambler, the position of CSG sub-district, the corresponding relation of CSG sub-district and place macrocell;
The information acquisition module is used for obtaining the CSG cell information from the broadcast message of the macrocell at place; This CSG cell information comprises: the cell information of the CSG sub-district in the macrocell signal cover and the cell information of adjacent C SG sub-district;
