Description

Method, device and system for measurement control

technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a measurement control method, device and system.

Background technique

With the development of communication technology, in the third generation mobile communication system (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access, WCDMA), code division multiple access system (Code Division Multiple Access2000, CDMA2000), time division synchronous code division multiple access system (Time Division- SynchronousCDMA, TD-SCDMA), long term evolution system (Long Term Evolution, LTE) and global microwave interconnection access system (World Interoperability for Microwave Access, WiMAX) appeared home indoor coverage base station, enterprise level internal coverage base station and other private networks . These private networks can be home base stations (Home NodeB), home cells (Home Cell), access points (Access Point), private cells (Private Cell) and private networks of certain specific frequency layers. At present, the private network can be divided into several access modes, among which, in the limited access mode, the concept of a closed subscriber group (Closed Subscriber Group, CSG) network has been introduced. A CSG network may include one or more cells, each of which may be called a CSG cell. In the CSG network, if a user signs up to the CSG user group or is added to the CSG user group by the owner of the CSG user group, the user is allowed to normally reside and apply for services in the CSG cell in the CSG network; and there is no Subscribed terminals and terminals not added to the CSG network by the CSG owner cannot normally camp in the CSG cell in the CSG network, that is, the terminal cannot normally initiate calls and receive paging messages in the CSG cell.

When the terminal approaches a private network cell, the terminal needs to start measurement, and the macro cell determines whether to switch to the target private network cell according to the measurement report reported by the terminal. If the signal quality/strength of the target private network cell satisfies the handover criterion, the macro cell commands the terminal to handover to the target private network cell. In the existing handover process between macro cells, the macro cell instructs the terminal to measure all adjacent private cells of the macro cell in the measurement control message, which increases the length of the measurement control message, wastes the resources of the air interface, and makes the terminal unnecessary The measurement increases the burden on the terminal; moreover, the existing handover process between macro cells does not take into account that the private network only allows users with corresponding permissions to use it, causing many terminals that are not allowed to access the private network cell to perform invalid Handover attempts will increase the burden on network transmission and each node, and will easily cause handover failure.

Compared with the existing handover process between macro cells, due to the huge number of CSG cells, the adjacent CSG cell list is not delivered in the macro cell broadcast information, and the terminal saves the fingerprint information (Finger Print Information) of the CSG cell, and according to Fingerprint information starts to measure CSG cells. Due to the small coverage and large number of CSG cells, the CSG cells in a macro cell may use the same Physical Cell Identity (PCI). In order to enable the macro cell to accurately identify the allowed terminal For the accessed CSG cell, the terminal can read the system information of the adjacent CSG cell to obtain the CSG ID and the physical cell ID, and match the obtained CSG ID with the CSG list previously saved by the terminal. If the match is successful, it indicates that the The CSG allows the terminal to access. After the terminal reports to the macro cell, the macro cell can find the corresponding CSG cell according to the CSG ID and the physical cell ID. However, in this method, since the terminal needs to read the system information of the CSG cell to measure the CSG cell of a different frequency/system, the configuration of the measurement gap is complicated, the network complexity is increased, and the handover delay is increased.

Detailed ways

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for measurement control, including: the first macro cell receives a first message including the fingerprint information of the CSG cell that the terminal is allowed to access; The second message of the indication information; according to the second message, the first macro cell obtains the terminal identity of the terminal; according to the indication information, the terminal identity and the CSG cell fingerprint information, the first macro cell instructs the terminal to measure the CSG cell.

The terminal identity of the terminal can be one of the International Mobile Subscriber Identity, Temporary Mobile Station Identity, International Mobile Station Equipment Identity, and telephone number. The terminal identity of a terminal and the access permission corresponding to the terminal identity The information pair of the CSG network may be called a CSG fingerprint information item. A CSG network may have one or more terminals allowed to access the CSG network, and for each terminal allowed to access the CSG network, there is a CSG fingerprint information item indicating that the terminal can access the CSG network. Therefore, in a CSG network, there may be one or more CSG fingerprint information items, and each CSG fingerprint information item corresponds to a terminal that is allowed to access the CSG network, and the information composed of these one or more terminal fingerprint information items It can be called CSG fingerprint information.

Using the method in the embodiment of the present invention, the first macro cell obtains the CSG fingerprint information according to the first message and obtains the terminal identity of the terminal according to the second message, and by determining that the CSG fingerprint information contains the terminal identity, the first macro cell determines The CSG cell that the terminal is allowed to access in the first macro cell, so that the first macro cell can instruct the terminal to measure the CSG cell that the terminal is allowed to access. Therefore, the terminal can reduce the number of CSG cells to be measured, avoid measuring all CSG cells in the first macro cell to a certain extent, reduce the length of measurement control messages, and reduce waste of air interface resources. Further, since the terminal does not need to measure the CSG cells that it is not allowed to access, the measurement burden of the terminal can be reduced. Further, using the method in the embodiment of the present invention, since the first macro cell indicates that the terminal only needs to measure the CSG cell that the terminal is allowed to access according to the terminal identity of the terminal and the obtained CSG fingerprint information, correspondingly, the terminal It can avoid reading the system information of the CSG cell during the measurement, which reduces the handover delay and simplifies the configuration of the measurement gap, thereby reducing the complexity of the system.

The embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below in combination with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. Meanwhile, it should be noted that, for the sake of simplicity of description, the following embodiments of the present invention use a macro cell as a scene in an LTE system for specific description.

As shown in Figure 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for measurement control, the method includes:

Step 1100: The first macro cell receives a first message including the fingerprint information of the CSG cell that the terminal is allowed to access.

In this implementation, the first message received by the first macro cell may be a handover request message, or other dedicated messages. Which message to use for the first message depends on the specific sending method, and several sending methods are described below:

Method 1: When the terminal is handed over from the CSG cell to the first macro cell, the CSG cell sends a first message to the first macro cell, where the first message may be a handover request message including CSG fingerprint information.

In each CSG fingerprint information item, the terminal-related CSG access information includes: physical cell identity (Physical Cell Identity, PCI) and CSG identity. The information about allowing access to the CSG may also include: location information of the CSG. The location information of the CSG may include Global Positioning System (Global Positioning System, GPS) information, and Observed Time Difference Of Arrival (OTDOA) location information may be observed. The information allowing access to the CSG may further include: Radio Access Technology (Radio Access Technology, RAT) type, Universal Land Mobile Network ID (Public Land Mobile Network ID, PLMN ID), center frequency, evolved global cell ID ( Evolved Cell Global Identity, ECGI), offset value Qoffset, hysteresis Qhyst, discontinuous reception (Discontinuous Reception, DRX) information, priority information, minimum uplink/downlink signal strength/quality threshold, type of measurement report. At the same time, the CSG cell may send the identity of the terminal to the first macro cell.

Since the embodiment of the present invention has specifically described the content of the terminal-related CSG-access-allowed information, in the following embodiments of the present invention, any information related to the terminal-related CSG-access-allowed information will no longer be used. The content that can be included in the information is repeatedly described, and the specific content included can refer to the specific introduction in this implementation.

Method 2: If the CSG cell has CSG fingerprint information, when the terminal switches from the CSG cell to the first macro cell, the CSG cell sends the CSG fingerprint information saved by the CSG cell to the first macro cell through the first message containing the CSG fingerprint information . The first message including the CSG fingerprint information is a dedicated message including the CSG fingerprint information, and the dedicated message can be sent through the X2 interface between the CSG cell and the macro cell.

Method 3: When the CSG cell is powered on and started, the CSG cell sends a registration message to a network node, such as a home base station gateway (Home Gateway), a core network node Mobility Management Entity (MME), or a network management node home base station management system, through a home base station registration message. (Home NodeB Management System) reports the CSG fingerprint information, that is, the first message containing the CSG fingerprint information at this time is the home base station registration message containing the CSG fingerprint information. The first message sent by the CSG cell including the CSG fingerprint information may be sent when the CSG cell is powered on, or a sending cycle may be set to periodically send the CSG fingerprint information to the macro cell through the first message. The adjacent or same-coverage first macro cell obtains its coverage area or the CSG fingerprint information of the adjacent CSG cell from the corresponding network node, and the acquisition method can be through the existing S1 interface between the eNB and the MME or the RNC and the SGSN and The message of the Iu interface between MSCs, such as the S1 establishment process message, the base station configuration update message, etc., can also be realized by designing a dedicated CSG fingerprint information request message.

Method 4: When the terminal switches from the first macro cell A storing the CSG terminal fingerprint information to the second macro cell B, the first macro cell A sends the CSG fingerprint information to the second macro cell B through a handover request message, The handover request message can be sent through the X2 interface between the first macro cell A and the second macro cell B, or can be sent through the S1 interface between the macro base station and the core network. That is, at this time, the first message including the CSG fingerprint information is a handover request message including the CSG terminal fingerprint information.

Optionally, after the first macro cell receives the first message containing the CSG fingerprint information, the first macro cell can set a timer for each terminal, the timer length is variable, for example, 7 days, when the timer expires The terminal does not return to the macro cell, and the first macro cell considers that the CSG fingerprint information item corresponding to the terminal in the CSG fingerprint information is invalid, and deletes the CSG fingerprint information item from the CSG fingerprint information.

Step 1200: The first macro cell receives a second message including indication information that the terminal approaches a CSG cell that the terminal is allowed to access.

When the terminal enters the CSG cell that is allowed to be accessed for the first time, it can choose to enter through manual selection. At this time, the terminal can measure the surrounding wireless environment and save the CSG information. The CSG information can include the physical cell identity of the CSG cell , CSG ID, Evolved Global Cell ID (ECGI), and the location information of the CSG cell. When the terminal approaches the CSG cell again, the terminal judges that it is close to the CSG cell that is allowed to access according to the location information in the saved CSG information. At this time, the terminal judges according to the saved The CSG information of the terminal sends a second message to the first macro cell, where the second message includes indication information that the terminal is close to a CSG cell that the terminal is allowed to access in the first macro cell, and the indication information may be one bit. The second message may be a radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) connection establishment message, a handover completion message, or a non-access stratum signaling (Non Access Stratum, NAS). The terminal may report the current location information of the terminal in the second message.

Step 1300: According to the second message, the first macro cell obtains the terminal identity of the terminal.

When the second message is a radio resource control connection establishment message or a handover completion message, the temporary mobile station identity (Temporary Mobile Station Identity, TMSI) can be obtained through the second message, and the international mobile subscriber identity of the terminal can be obtained through the obtained temporary mobile station identity (International Mobile Subscriber Identity, IMSI), that is, the terminal identity of the terminal.

When the second message is non-access stratum signaling, the second message is non-access stratum signaling including the terminal identity of the terminal, where the terminal identity may be an International Mobile Subscriber Identity. When the terminal reselects to the first macro cell, the non-access stratum signaling is a Tracking Area Update Request message; when the terminal is powered on in the first macro cell, the non-access stratum signaling is an attach request (Attach Request) message; when the terminal initiates a service request in the first macro cell, the non-access stratum signaling is a service request (Service Request) message.

Step 1400: According to the indication information, the terminal identity and the fingerprint information of the CSG cell, the first macro cell instructs the terminal to measure the CSG cell.

The indication information in the second message indicates that the first macro cell terminal is close to the CSG cell that the terminal is allowed to access, and the first macro cell compares the determined terminal identity with the CSG fingerprint information, if the stored first message When the CSG fingerprint information does not contain the terminal identity of the terminal, it means that there is no CSG cell within the coverage of the first macro cell that allows the terminal to access. If the CSG fingerprint information in the saved first message contains the terminal’s ID When the terminal identity is identified, it means that there is a CSG cell that allows the terminal to access within the coverage of the first macro cell. The first macro cell searches the saved CSG fingerprint information for the physical cell identifier PCI of the corresponding CSG cell. The terminal sends a measurement control message, and the neighbor cell list in the measurement control message includes the physical cell identity PCI of the corresponding CSG cell. Further, if the first message includes information about allowing access to the CSG, and the terminal reports current location information, such as global positioning system information, in the second message, the PCI in the measurement control message delivered by the first macro cell may not be repeated. When the terminal reports the measurement report, the first macro cell can obtain the CSG identity and the evolved global cell identity.

It should be noted that the embodiment of the present invention uses the terminal identity as the International Mobile Subscriber Identity Code as an example for illustration, but the description using the International Mobile Subscriber Identity Code as an example does not constitute a limitation on the scope of the present invention. Other conceivable terminal identifiers that can be used to identify the terminal identity, such as temporary mobile station identifier, international mobile station equipment identifier and terminal telephone number, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

Using the method in the embodiment of the present invention, the first macro cell obtains the CSG fingerprint information according to the first message and the terminal identity according to the second message, and according to the match between the CSG fingerprint information and the terminal identity, the first macro cell determines to allow the The CSG cell that the terminal accesses, so that the first macro cell can instruct the terminal to measure the CSG cell that the terminal is allowed to access. Therefore, the terminal can reduce the number of CSG cells to be measured, avoid measuring all CSG cells in the first macro cell to a certain extent, reduce the length of measurement control messages, and reduce waste of air interface resources. Furthermore, since the terminal can avoid measuring the CSG cells that it is not allowed to access to a certain extent, the measurement burden of the terminal can be reduced to a certain extent. Further, using the method in the embodiment of the present invention, since the first macro cell indicates that the terminal only needs to measure the CSG cell that the terminal is allowed to access according to the terminal identity and the obtained CSG fingerprint information, correspondingly, when the terminal is measuring It can avoid reading the system information of the CSG cell, reduce the handover delay, and simplify the measurement gap configuration, thereby reducing the system complexity.

As shown in Figure 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides another measurement control method, which includes:

Step 2100: The first macro cell receives the first message including the fingerprint information of the CSG cell that the terminal is allowed to access.

Step 2200: The first macro cell receives a second message including indication information that the terminal is close to the CSG cell that the terminal is allowed to access.

The specific implementations of steps 2100 and 2200 in this embodiment are similar to the specific implementations of steps 1100 and 1200 in the above-mentioned embodiment, and the specific implementations of steps 2100 and 2200 will not be repeated in this embodiment. describe.

Step 2300: According to the first message, the first macro cell obtains the CSG identification list of the CSG network that the terminal is allowed to access, or according to the second message, the first macro cell obtains the CSG identification list of the CSG network that the terminal is allowed to access.

Although it has been described in the above steps 2100 and 2200 that the specific implementation manners of the first message and the second message are similar to the specific implementation manners in the above embodiment steps 1100 and 1200, it should be noted that the first message in the step 2100 of this embodiment The difference between a message and the first message in step 1100 in the above embodiment is that the first message may further include a list of CSG identifiers of CSG networks that the terminal is allowed to access, or if the first message in step 2100 is not When the CSG identification list of the CSG network that the terminal is allowed to access is included, the difference between the second message in step 2200 of this embodiment and the second message in step 1100 in the above embodiment is that the second message may further include The CSG identification list of the CSG network that the terminal is allowed to access.

Step 2400: According to the indication information, the CSG cell fingerprint information and the CSG identification list, the first macro cell instructs the terminal to measure the CSG cell.

The first macro cell compares the CSG fingerprint information with the CSG identification list of the CSG network that the terminal is allowed to access, and if the CSG identification list of the CSG network that the terminal is allowed to access does not contain the CSG fingerprint information that contains When the CSG ID of the CSG ID is specified, it means that there is no CSG cell that the terminal is allowed to access within the coverage of the first macro cell. If the CSG ID list of the CSG network that the terminal is allowed to access contains the CSG ID included in the CSG fingerprint information , indicating that there is a CSG cell that allows the terminal to access within the coverage of the first macro cell, the first macro cell searches the saved CSG fingerprint information for the physical cell identifier PCI of the corresponding CSG cell, and the first macro cell sends the measurement to the terminal In the control message, the neighbor cell list in the measurement control message includes the physical cell identity PCI of the corresponding CSG cell. Further, if the first message includes information about allowing access to the CSG, and the terminal reports current location information, such as global positioning system information, in the second message, the PCI in the measurement control message delivered by the first macro cell may not be repeated. When the terminal reports the measurement report, the first macro cell can obtain the CSG identity and the evolved global cell identity.

Using the method in the embodiment of the present invention, the first macro cell obtains the CSG fingerprint information according to the first message and obtains the CSG identification list of the CSG network that the terminal is allowed to access according to the first message or the second message. Comparing the CSG identification list of the CSG network that the terminal accesses, the first macro cell determines the CSG cells that the terminal is allowed to access, so that the first macro cell can instruct the terminal to measure the CSG cells that the terminal is allowed to access. Therefore, the terminal can reduce the number of CSG cells to be measured, measure all adjacent cells in the first macro cell to a certain extent, reduce the length of measurement control messages, and reduce waste of air interface resources. Furthermore, since the terminal can avoid measuring the CSG cells that it is not allowed to access to a certain extent, the measurement burden of the terminal can be reduced to a certain extent. Further, by adopting the method in the embodiment of the present invention, since the first macro cell instructs the terminal to make a CSG cell that the terminal is allowed to access according to the comparison between the CSG identification list of the CSG network that the terminal is allowed to access and the obtained CSG fingerprint information, Correspondingly, the terminal can avoid reading the system information of the CSG cell during measurement, which reduces the handover delay and simplifies the configuration of the measurement gap, thereby reducing the complexity of the system.
