Description

Communication processing method and device for inter-base-station measurement

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for processing communications during inter-base station measurement.

Background

Conventional Macro base station (Macro eNB) single-layer coverage networks have been unable to meet the ever-increasing demands of data traffic rates and capacities. Therefore, The third Generation partnership project (3 GPP) introduced a way of hierarchical networking to solve this problem: the effect of cell splitting is obtained by arranging the base station with low power in the small coverage environment such as a hot spot area, a home indoor environment, an office environment and the like, so that an operator can provide services with higher data rate and lower cost for users. The cells (cells) under these low power base stations may be referred to as small cells (small cells). A network formed by Macro cells (Macro cells) and small cells together may be referred to as a heterogeneous network.

To more efficiently utilize resources, a dynamic Time Division Duplexing (TDD) uplink/downlink configuration may be introduced for the small cell. In order to avoid interference between small cells, a concept of a cell cluster (cellcluster) is introduced, all cells in the same cell cluster use the same TDD uplink/downlink configuration, and different cellclusters can use different TDD uplink/downlink configurations.

In order to determine which small cells can constitute a cell cluster, an inter-base station measurement mechanism needs to be introduced. For example, the base station measures the path loss between the base station and the adjacent base station, and then determines which small cells can form the cellcell according to the path loss condition.

When the base station to which the small cell belongs performs inter-base station measurement, User Equipment (UE) in the small cell is affected, but currently, a communication processing scheme of the UE is not available when the inter-base station measurement is performed.

Detailed Description

The embodiment of the invention provides a communication processing scheme during measurement between base stations, which comprises the following steps: the base station equipment determines time information which causes interruption of a target cell among base station measurements, and sends communication indication information aiming at the target cell to UE of the target cell. And the communication indication information aiming at the target cell carries time information for causing the interruption of the target cell by measuring between the base stations. For the UE of the target cell, the target cell is its serving cell. And the UE receives the communication indication information aiming at the serving cell and stops data receiving, sending and/or measuring on the serving cell within the time period of interruption of the serving cell caused by the measurement between the base stations according to the time information carried in the communication indication information aiming at the serving cell.

The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

On the UE side, the communication processing method for inter-base station measurement according to the embodiment of the present invention is shown in fig. 1, and specifically includes the following operations:

The communication indication information aiming at the service cell carries time information which causes service cell interruption and is measured by the base station.

Optionally, the communication indication information for the serving cell further carries serving cell identification information.

The serving cell identification information may be, but is not limited to, a cell number, ECGI, or frequency point + PCI.

And step 110, stopping data reception, transmission and/or measurement on the serving cell within a time period for which the inter-base station measurement causes interruption of the serving cell according to the time information carried in the communication indication information for the serving cell.

In the time period of the interruption of the serving cell, only stopping receiving data on the serving cell, only stopping sending data on the serving cell, only stopping measurement on the serving cell, or stopping a combination of data transmission and cell measurement, and the UE determines the data transmission according to a predetermined agreement or an indication of a higher layer signaling.

If the UE is configured to perform measurements on neighbor cells of the serving cell. When the inter-base station measurement will cause the interruption of the neighboring cell, based on the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the UE also receives communication indication information for the neighboring cell through the serving cell; determining the adjacent cell according to the adjacent cell identification information carried in the communication indication information aiming at the adjacent cell; and stopping the measurement of the adjacent cell in the time period of the interruption of the adjacent cell caused by the measurement between the base stations according to the time information carried in the communication indication information aiming at the adjacent cell. The communication indication information aiming at the adjacent cell carries the identification information of the adjacent cell and the time information which causes the interruption of the adjacent cell and is measured by the base station. Specifically, the UE may receive the communication indication information for the neighbor cell through broadcast or dedicated signaling of the serving cell, but not limited thereto.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the neighboring cell identification information may be, but is not limited to be, represented by ECGI or frequency point + PCI.

The base station may send the communication indication information to the UE in an explicit manner or in an implicit manner.

In any of the above-described UE-side method embodiments, the time information measured between base stations to cause cell (serving cell or neighbor cell) interruption may be a time parameter measured between base stations if the base station explicitly transmits the communication indication information to the UE.

measurement period and one-time measurement execution time length.

And (II) measuring period, one-time measurement execution time length, radio frame offset and subframe offset used for measurement.

The radio frame offset and the subframe offset used for measurement may be the same value or different values. If the radio frame offset and the subframe offset used for the pre-agreed or configured measurement are the same values, a value of one frame offset may be carried in the communication indication information.

And (III) measuring period, one-time measurement execution time length and initial measurement starting time.

It should be noted that, the interruption period is a measurement period between base stations, the interruption duration is a measurement execution duration between base stations, the interruption start time is a measurement start time between base stations, the interruption end time is a measurement end time between base stations, the radio frame offset and the subframe offset where the interruption is located, and the radio frame offset and the subframe offset where the measurement between base stations is located. The difference is that the message has different attribute identifications for the same time parameter.

If the base station implicitly transmits the communication indication information to the UE, in any of the above UE side method embodiments, the time information measured by the base station to cause the cell (serving cell or neighboring cell) to be interrupted may be a sleep time parameter in a cell discontinuous transmission state. The sleep time parameter in the discontinuous transmission state of the cell is determined according to the time parameter measured by the base station.

In the UE side method embodiment, if the time information for causing the serving cell to be interrupted between the base stations is the time parameter for the inter-base station measurement, after receiving the communication indication information for the serving cell, the UE may further determine the time period for causing the serving cell to be interrupted between the base stations according to the time parameter for the inter-base station measurement carried in the communication indication information for the serving cell.

Further, if the time parameter measured between base stations carried in the communication indication information for the serving cell includes: measuring period, one-time measurement execution time length, wireless frame offset and subframe offset used for measurement; or, if the time parameter measured between base stations carried in the communication indication information for the serving cell includes: the interruption period, the one-time interruption duration, the wireless frame offset of interruption and the subframe offset. The UE may start determining the time period of the serving cell outage after receiving the first measurement validation indication from the base station. Accordingly, a specific implementation manner for determining the time period for which the inter-base station measurement causes the serving cell to be interrupted may be: after receiving the first measurement validation instruction, determining the starting time of the time period for causing the interruption of the service cell among the base stations according to the measurement period, the radio frame offset used for measurement and the subframe offset, and determining the time period for causing the interruption of the service cell among the base stations according to the one-time measurement execution time length and the starting time.

In the UE side method embodiment, if the communication indication information for the neighboring cell is received, and the time information, which is carried in the communication indication information and used for causing the interruption of the neighboring cell, between the base stations is a time parameter measured between the base stations, the UE may further determine a time period, which is used for causing the interruption of the neighboring cell, between the base stations according to the time parameter measured between the base stations carried in the communication indication information for the neighboring cell.

Further, if the communication indication information for the neighboring cell is received, and the time parameter measured between base stations carried in the communication indication information includes: measuring period, one-time measurement execution time length, wireless frame offset and subframe offset used for measurement; or, if the communication indication information for the neighboring cell is received, and the time parameter measured between base stations carried in the communication indication information includes: the interruption period, the one-time interruption duration, the wireless frame offset of interruption and the subframe offset. Then, the UE may start determining the time period of the neighbor cell outage after receiving the second measurement validation indication from the base station. Specifically, the specific implementation manner of determining the time period for which the inter-base station measurement causes the interruption of the neighboring cell may be: and after receiving the second measurement effective indication, determining the starting time of the time period for which the adjacent cell is interrupted, which is measured by the base station, according to the measurement period, the radio frame offset and the subframe offset used for measurement, and determining the time period for which the adjacent cell is interrupted, which is measured by the base station, according to the one-time measurement execution time length and the starting time.

On the base station side, an embodiment of the present invention provides a communication processing method for inter-base station measurement, which is implemented as shown in fig. 2, and specifically includes the following operations:

and step 200, determining time information for causing interruption of the target cell by measuring the time information among the base stations.

Step 210, sending the communication indication information aiming at the target cell to the UE of the target cell.

Wherein, the base station may transmit the communication indication information for the target cell to the UE of the target cell through broadcast or dedicated signaling of the target cell, but not limited thereto. The communication indication information aiming at the target cell carries time information which causes the interruption of the target cell by the inter-base station measurement so as to indicate the UE to stop data receiving, sending and/or measuring on the target cell within the time period which causes the interruption of the target cell by the inter-base station measurement.

Optionally, the communication indication information for the target cell further carries target cell identification information.

And if the UE is configured to measure the neighbor cells of the target cell. When the inter-base station measurement will cause the interruption of the neighboring cell, based on the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the base station obtains the time information for causing the interruption of the neighboring cell of the target cell by the inter-base station measurement; and sending communication indication information aiming at the adjacent cell to the UE through the target cell. The communication indication information aiming at the adjacent cell carries the identification information of the adjacent cell and the time information for causing the interruption of the adjacent cell by the inter-base station measurement so as to indicate the UE to stop the measurement of the adjacent cell in the time period for causing the interruption of the adjacent cell by the inter-base station measurement. Specifically, the base station may transmit, but is not limited to, the communication indication information for the neighbor cell to the UE of the target cell through broadcast or dedicated signaling of the target cell.

In the embodiment of the invention, if the communication indication information aiming at the adjacent cell is sent to the UE. Each base station can exchange base station measurement time information causing cell interruption through an interface between the base stations; or the central management node can determine the time information for causing the interruption of the managed cell measured by the base station and sends the determined time information to the managed base station.

In any of the above embodiments of the method at the base station side, if the base station explicitly sends the communication indication information to the UE, the time information for causing the cell (target cell or neighboring cell) to be interrupted among the base stations may be a time parameter for the inter-base station measurement. In the embodiment of the present invention, the time parameter measured between the base stations may refer to the description of the UE side method embodiment, and is not described herein again.

If the time information causing the interruption of the target cell, which is measured by the inter-base station measurement and carried in the communication indication information aiming at the target cell, is a time parameter measured by the inter-base station measurement, and specifically carries: a measurement period, a measurement execution time length, and a radio frame offset and a subframe offset used for measurement. The base station may also send a first measurement validation indication to the UE of the target cell to indicate that the UE determines a time period for which inter-base station measurements caused interruption of the target cell after receiving the first measurement validation indication.

If the time information causing the interruption of the target cell, which is measured by the inter-base station measurement and carried in the communication indication information aiming at the target cell, is a time parameter measured by the inter-base station measurement, and specifically carries: the interruption period, the one-time interruption duration, the wireless frame offset of interruption and the subframe offset. The base station may also send a first measurement validation indication to the UE of the target cell to indicate that the UE determines a time period during which inter-base station measurements caused interruption of the target cell after receiving the first measurement validation indication.

If communication indication information aiming at the adjacent cell is also sent to the UE of the target cell, the time information which is carried in the communication indication information and used for causing the interruption of the target cell between the base stations is a time parameter which is measured between the base stations, and the time parameter specifically carries: measurement period, one-time measurement execution time length, radio frame offset and subframe offset used for measurement. The base station may further send a second measurement validation indication to the UE of the target cell to indicate that the UE determines a time period for which the inter-base station measurement causes the neighbor cell to be discontinued after receiving the second measurement validation indication.

If communication indication information aiming at the adjacent cell is also sent to the UE of the target cell, the time information which is carried in the communication indication information and used for causing the interruption of the target cell between the base stations is a time parameter which is measured between the base stations, and the time parameter specifically carries: the interruption period, the one-time interruption duration, the wireless frame offset of interruption and the subframe offset. The base station may further send a second measurement validation indication to the UE of the target cell to indicate that the UE determines a time period for which the inter-base station measurement causes the neighbor cell to be discontinued after receiving the second measurement validation indication.

If the base station implicitly sends the communication indication information to the UE, in any of the above embodiments of the base station side method, the time information measured by the base station to cause the cell (target cell or neighboring cell) to be interrupted may be a sleep time parameter in a cell discontinuous transmission state. The sleep time parameter in the discontinuous transmission state of the cell is determined according to the time parameter measured by the base station. In the embodiment of the present invention, the sleep time parameter in the cell discontinuous state may refer to the description of the UE side method embodiment, which is not described herein again.

If the time information causing the interruption of the target cell measured by the inter-base station is the sleep time parameter in the discontinuous transmission state of the target cell, the specific implementation manner for determining the time information causing the interruption of the target cell measured by the inter-base station may be: determining a time parameter for inter-base station measurements; and determining a sleep time parameter in the discontinuous transmission state of the target cell according to the time parameter measured by the base station, so that the interrupted time period of the target cell is in the sleep time determined according to the sleep time parameter.

Specifically, the time parameter measured between the base stations may be determined as a sleep time parameter in the discontinuous transmission state of the target cell, so that the sleep time of the target cell is the interruption time thereof. The sleep time parameter may also be determined such that the sleep time determined from the sleep time parameter includes an outage time of the target cell.

If the base station sends the communication indication information to the UE in an implicit manner, at the base station side, an embodiment of the present invention further provides another communication processing method for inter-base-station measurement, which is implemented as shown in fig. 3, and specifically includes the following operations:

and step 300, determining time information for causing the interruption of the target cell by the measurement between the base stations.

And 310, determining the time period of the target cell interruption according to the time information which causes the target cell interruption and is measured by the base station.

Step 320, sending the communication indication information aiming at the target cell to the UE of the target cell.

The information carried in the communication indication information aiming at the target cell is determined according to the time period for causing the interruption of the target cell by the inter-base station measurement, so as to indicate the UE of the target cell to stop receiving, transmitting and/or measuring data on the target cell in the time period for causing the interruption of the target cell by the inter-base station measurement.

In the implicit notification mode, when the UE of the target cell is scheduled or configured with resources, the scheduling or the configuration on the subframe within the interrupted time period of the target cell can be avoided; the UE may also be deactivated for the time period of the target cell outage by initiating a deactivation process for the UE of the target cell.

If implicitly notified by scheduling or configuring resources for the UE of the target cell. The communication indication information for the target cell carries parameter configuration information and/or scheduling information. The time-frequency resources indicated by the parameter configuration information and/or the scheduling information are on subframes outside a time period for measuring the interruption of the target cell between the base stations.

If the implicit notification mode of the UE deactivation process aiming at the target cell is initiated. The communication indication information for the target cell carries deactivation indication information for indicating deactivation before the target cell is interrupted due to inter-base station measurement.

Further, after the UE is deactivated, an activation process may be initiated to the UE, so that the UE is reactivated after the cell outage is completed.

Taking periodic inter-base station measurement as an example, the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail through the implementation of the base station device in cooperation with the UE. The corresponding processing procedure is shown in fig. 4, and specifically includes the following operations:

step 400, the base station device determines the time parameter for the base station device to perform the inter-base station measurement.

In this embodiment, the time parameters measured between the base stations include:

inter-eNB measurement period between base stations

One time of inter-eNB measurement length

An inter-eNB measurement offset (inter-eNB measurement offset) which is a uniform offset of a radio frame and a subframe where measurement is performed.

The time parameter measured by the base station can be determined by a central management node and configured to each base station through an interface between the central management node and the base station managed by the central management node, and can also be determined by the base station equipment.

In step 410, the base station equipment determines the cell (i.e. the target cell) affected by the inter-base station measurement.

And determining which cells under the base station need to be interrupted during the inter-base station measurement according to the specific implementation mode of the base station performing the inter-base station measurement. This step may be omitted if all cells need to be interrupted when the base station performs inter-base station measurements.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that the UE is configured to perform measurement on the neighbor cells. Then, step 420 is also executed, the base station apparatus acquires the time parameter of inter-base station measurement causing the interruption of the neighbor cell of the target cell.

If the adjacent cell is a cell governed by other base station equipment, the base station equipment can acquire the time parameter between the base stations causing the interruption of the adjacent cell from the central management node, and also can acquire the time parameter between the base stations causing the interruption of the adjacent cell from the base station equipment of the adjacent cell through an interface between the base stations.

Step 430, the base station equipment sends communication indication information to the UE of the target cell, where the communication indication information carries the time parameter for the base station equipment to perform inter-base station measurement, the neighboring cell identification information and the time parameter for inter-base station measurement causing the neighboring cell to be interrupted.

Optionally, the target cell identifier information may also be carried.

Here, the communication instruction information for the target cell and the communication instruction information for the neighboring cell may be transmitted separately. The time parameter for the target cell and the time parameter for the neighboring cell may also be carried in a piece of communication indication information.

The specific notification manner of step 430 may be through broadcast or dedicated signaling (RRC/MAC/PDCCH) signaling.

Step 440, the UE of the target cell receives the communication indication information, and stops receiving, sending, and/or measuring data (such as CSI/RSRP/RSRQ measurement) on the target cell during the time period of interruption of the target cell according to the time parameter measured between base stations carried in the communication indication information, and stops measuring (such as CSI/RSRP/RSRQ measurement) on the neighboring cell during the time period of interruption of the neighboring cell.

Taking the target cell as an example, specifically, when a System Frame Number (SFN) and a subframe (subframe Number) satisfy the following conditions, the UE stops receiving, transmitting, and/or measuring data in the target cell, where a time length of each stop is inter-eNB measurement length.

SFN mod T=FLOOR(inter-eNB measurement offset/10);

subframe=inter-eNB measurement offset mod10;

Wherein:

T=inter-eNB measurement period/10

the unit of inter-eNB measurement period and inter-eNB measurement offset are ms

FLOOR () represents rounding down the value in parentheses.

If the data reception on the target cell is stopped, the reception of PDCCH/PDSCH/CRS/CSI-RS, etc. may be stopped, but not limited thereto.

If the data transmission on the target cell is stopped, the transmission of the PUCCH/PUSCH/SRS/PRACH and the like may be stopped, but not limited thereto.

The scheduling grant to be transmitted during the inter-base station measurement period, which is received before the inter-base station measurement, may be processed but not transmitted.

Step 450, the base station device performs inter-base station measurements.

When the System Frame Number (SFN) and the subframe (subframe Number) of the base station satisfy the following condition, the base station will start to perform inter-base station measurement, and the measurement execution time of each inter-base station measurement is inter-eNB measurement length.

SFN mod T=FLOOR(inter-eNB measurement offset/10);

subframe=inter-eNB measurement offset mod10;

Wherein:

T=inter-eNB measurement period/10

FLOOR () represents rounding down the value in parentheses.

Optionally, the base station further sends the first measurement validation indication and the second measurement validation indication to the UE. After receiving the communication indication information, the UE does not immediately calculate the interruption time of the target cell and/or the neighboring cell according to the relevant parameters, but waits for the first measurement validation indication and/or the second measurement validation indication sent by the subsequent base station, and then starts to determine the interruption time according to the above formula.

It should be noted that in the embodiment shown in fig. 4, the start time of the inter-base station measurement is calculated according to the offset. Besides, the base station may send the starting time, the measurement period and the measurement duration of the inter-base station measurement to the UE.

Taking aperiodic inter-base-station measurement as an example, the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is explained in detail through a cooperation implementation of base station equipment and UE. The corresponding process can refer to the embodiment shown in fig. 4. The difference lies in that:

in step 400, the time parameter for the base station apparatus to perform the inter-base station measurement may be any one of the time parameters for the above-described (fourth) to (sixth) sets of inter-base station measurements.

In step 440, the UE stops data reception, transmission, and/or measurement on the target cell for the corresponding time period of interruption of the target cell according to the measurement start time and the measurement execution duration (or the measurement end time and the measurement execution duration, or the measurement start time and the measurement end time), and stops measurement on the neighbor cell for the corresponding time period of interruption of the neighbor cell.

In step 450, the base station apparatus performs inter-base station measurement according to the measurement start time and the measurement execution time length (or the measurement end time and the measurement execution time length, or the measurement start time and the measurement end time). Taking aperiodic inter-base-station measurement as an example, the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail through another implementation of cooperation between the base station equipment and the UE. The corresponding process can refer to the embodiment shown in fig. 4. The difference lies in that:

in step 400, the time parameter for the base station apparatus to perform the inter-base station measurement may be any one of the above-described (seventh) to (twelfth) sets of inter-base station measurement time parameters.

The interruption period is a measurement period measured between base stations, the interruption duration is a measurement execution duration measured between base stations, the interruption starting time is a measurement starting time measured between base stations, the interruption ending time is a measurement ending time measured between base stations, the radio frame offset and the subframe offset of the interruption, and the radio frame offset and the subframe offset of the measurement between base stations.
