Detailed Description
In the embodiment of the application, the network side device controls the time when the UE starts the inter-frequency measurement by sending the first measurement configuration information carrying the first measurement event and the second measurement configuration information carrying the second measurement event to the UE. The first measurement event is used for controlling the UE to start the pilot frequency measurement when the UE moves towards the center direction of the serving cell, and the second measurement event is used for controlling the UE to start the pilot frequency measurement when the UE moves towards the edge direction of the serving cell. By adopting the embodiment of the application, when the UE moves towards the center of the serving cell, aiming at the co-station pilot frequency adjacent cell, the first measurement event can be utilized to trigger the UE to start pilot frequency measurement, namely the pilot frequency measurement is started when the measured signal intensity of the serving cell is higher than a first threshold, and because the signal intensity near the center of the cell is higher, the UE can timely initiate the pilot frequency measurement when moving to the vicinity of the center of the cell and then is switched to the pilot frequency adjacent cell positioned at the center of the cell, in addition, because the A2 event with a higher threshold value is not used, the UE positioned at the edge of the cell is also prevented from starting unnecessary pilot frequency measurement, thereby effectively reducing the loss of the uplink and downlink service rates of the UE. When the UE moves towards the edge of the serving cell, for the inter-cell inter-frequency neighboring cell, the second measurement event may be used to trigger the UE to start the inter-frequency measurement, that is, the inter-frequency measurement is started when the measured signal strength of the serving cell is lower than the second threshold.
Example one
As shown in fig. 2, a flowchart of an inter-frequency measurement control method provided in an embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:
s201: an Evolved Node B (eNodeB) establishes an RRC connection with a UE.
S202: and the eNodeB issues the first measurement configuration information and the second measurement configuration information to the UE based on the RRC connection.
Here, the first measurement configuration information includes a first measurement event that is satisfied by starting inter-frequency measurement for a co-sited inter-frequency neighboring cell when the UE moves to the serving cell center direction, where the first measurement event is that the serving cell signal strength of the UE is higher than a first threshold value; the second measurement configuration information includes a second measurement event that is satisfied by starting pilot frequency measurement for the inter-site pilot frequency adjacent cell when the UE moves to the edge direction of the serving cell, and the second measurement event means that the signal intensity of the serving cell of the UE is lower than a second threshold value. Wherein the first threshold value is greater than the second threshold value.
Specifically, according to the definition of a Long Term Evolution (LTE) measurement event in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3 GPP) standard protocol, a first measurement event included in the first measurement configuration information may be identified by an a1 event, and a second measurement event included in the second measurement configuration information may be identified by an a2 event. For the sake of convenience of distinction, in the embodiment of the present application, the first measurement event is identified by a1_1, and the second measurement event is identified by a2_ 2.
In addition, the first measurement configuration information further includes a fifth measurement event that is satisfied by the UE when the UE stops starting the inter-frequency measurement, and is used to instruct the UE to stop measuring the signal strength of the inter-frequency neighboring cell if the fifth measurement event is satisfied after the UE starts the inter-frequency measurement. Here, the fifth measurement event means that the serving cell signal strength of the UE is lower than a fifth threshold value. The fifth measurement event may be identified as a2_1, as defined for LTE measurement events in the 3GPP standard protocol.
The second measurement configuration information further includes a sixth measurement event that is satisfied by the UE when the pilot frequency measurement is stopped, and is used to instruct the UE to stop measuring the signal strength of the pilot frequency neighboring cell if the sixth measurement event is satisfied after the pilot frequency measurement is started. Here, the sixth measurement event means that the serving cell signal strength of the UE is higher than a sixth threshold value. The sixth measurement event may be identified as a1_2, as defined for LTE measurement events in 3GPP standard protocols. Wherein the fifth threshold is greater than the sixth threshold. And the fifth threshold value is smaller than the first threshold value, and the sixth threshold value is larger than the second threshold value. In the embodiment of the present application, the threshold values of the above four events are respectively a first threshold value, a fifth threshold value, a sixth threshold value, and a second threshold value, which are arranged in descending order.
In specific implementation, the eNodeB may simultaneously issue, to the UE, the first measurement configuration information carrying a1_1 and a2_1 and the second measurement configuration information carrying a2_1 and a2_2 through RRC reconfiguration signaling.
S203: and after receiving the first measurement configuration information and the second measurement configuration information, the UE measures the signal strength of the serving cell.
If the measurement result satisfies the first measurement event a1_1, steps S204 to S207 are performed.
If the measurement result satisfies the second measurement event a2_2, steps S208 to S211 are executed.
Here, the UE may determine the Signal strength of the serving cell by measuring Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP) of the serving cell.
S204: and the UE reports the first measurement event report to the eNodeB.
Here, when the measurement result satisfies the first measurement event, that is, when the measured service quality of the serving cell is higher than a preset first threshold value, a first measurement event report is reported to the eNodeB. This situation is applicable to a scenario where the UE moves towards the inter-frequency neighboring cell direction of the cell center.
S205: and the eNodeB issues third measurement configuration information to the UE after receiving the first measurement event report.
Here, the third measurement configuration information is used to instruct the UE to measure the signal strength of the inter-frequency neighboring cell, and the third measurement configuration information includes a third measurement event that is satisfied for performing cell handover. The third measurement event may be defined as an A3 event or an a4 event or an a5 event, as defined for the LTE measurement event in the 3GPP standard protocol. The A3 event is defined as the neighbor cell signal strength being higher than a threshold value than the serving cell signal strength, the a4 event is defined as the neighbor cell quality being higher than a threshold value, and the a5 event is defined as the serving cell signal strength being lower than a threshold value of 1 and the neighbor cell quality being higher than a threshold value of 2. For convenience of distinction, the third measurement event in the embodiment of the present application may be identified by A3_1 or a4_1 or a5_ 1.
S206: and after receiving the third measurement configuration information, the UE measures the signal strength of the pilot frequency adjacent cell, and reports a third measurement event report to the eNodeB after the measurement result meets the third measurement event.
In a specific implementation, after the UE starts measuring the signal strength of the inter-frequency neighboring cell and before the UE reports a third measurement event to the eNodeB, if the measured service quality of the serving cell is lower than a fifth threshold, that is, the fifth measurement event is satisfied, the UE reports the fifth measurement event to the eNodeB. After receiving the fifth measurement event report, the eNodeB sends an instruction to stop inter-frequency measurement to the UE, so as to inform the UE to stop measuring the signal strength of the inter-frequency neighboring cell. In this case, the UE will not report the third measurement event to the eNodeB, i.e. will not trigger the handover procedure of the subsequent inter-frequency neighboring cell.
S207: the eNodeB controls the cell handover of the UE according to the received third measurement event report.
Here, the third measurement event report carries the identification information of the inter-frequency neighbor cell to be measured.
In a specific implementation, the eNodeB may determine whether to allow the UE to perform cell handover according to the measured identifier information of the inter-frequency neighboring cell carried in the received third measurement event report.
Specifically, the eNodeB allows the UE to switch to the first designated cell after determining that the identifier information of the inter-frequency neighboring cell carried in the third measurement event report is the identifier information of the first designated cell, and rejects the UE to perform cell switching if the identifier information of the inter-frequency neighboring cell carried in the third measurement event report is the identifier information of the first designated cell; the serving cell of the UE and the first designated cell belong to the same base station or the same physical site.
Here, the first designated cell may be an inter-frequency neighboring cell located at a cell center position. And if the identification information of the pilot frequency adjacent cell carried in the third measurement event report is the pilot frequency adjacent cell of the non-cell center position, the eNodeB rejects the UE for cell switching.
S208: and the UE reports the second measurement event report to the eNodeB.
Here, when the measurement result satisfies the second measurement event, i.e. when the measured service quality of the serving cell is lower than a preset second threshold value, a second measurement event report is reported to the eNodeB. This situation is applicable to a scenario in which the UE moves to the inter-frequency neighboring cell direction at the cell edge, and may specifically be a scenario in which the UE moves to the inter-frequency neighboring cell edge direction at different base stations.
S209: and after receiving the second measurement event report, the eNodeB issues fourth measurement configuration information to the UE.
Here, the fourth measurement configuration information is used to instruct the UE to measure the signal strength of the inter-frequency neighboring cell, and the fourth measurement configuration information includes a fourth measurement event that is satisfied for performing cell handover. According to the definition of the LTE measurement event in the 3GPP standard protocol, the fourth measurement event may also be defined as an A3 event or an a4 event or an a5 event. For convenience of distinction, the fourth measurement event in the embodiment of the present application may be identified by A3_2 or a4_2 or a5_ 2. The value of the threshold value set in the fourth measurement event may be the same as or different from the value of the threshold value set in the fifth measurement event.
S210: and after receiving the fourth measurement configuration information, the UE measures the signal strength of the pilot frequency adjacent cell, and reports a fourth measurement event report to the eNodeB after the measurement result meets the fourth measurement event.
In a specific implementation, after the UE starts to measure the signal strength of the inter-frequency neighboring cell and before the UE reports a fourth measurement event to the eNodeB, if the measured service quality of the serving cell is higher than a sixth threshold, that is, the measured service quality of the serving cell meets a sixth measurement event, the UE reports the sixth measurement event to the eNodeB. After receiving the sixth measurement event report, the eNodeB sends an indication to the UE to stop inter-frequency measurement, so as to inform the UE to stop measuring the signal strength of the inter-frequency neighboring cell. In this case, the UE will not report the fourth measurement event reported by the eNodeB, i.e. will not trigger the handover procedure of the subsequent inter-frequency neighboring cell.
S211: the eNodeB controls the cell handover of the UE according to the received fourth measurement event report.
Here, the fourth measurement event report also carries the identifier information of the inter-frequency neighboring cell to be measured.
In a specific implementation, the eNodeB may determine whether to allow the UE to perform cell handover according to the measured identifier information of the inter-frequency neighboring cell carried in the received fourth measurement event report.
Specifically, the eNodeB allows the UE to switch to the second specified cell after determining that the identifier information of the inter-frequency neighboring cell carried in the fourth measurement event report is the identifier information of the second specified cell, and otherwise, rejects the UE to perform cell switching; wherein the serving cell and the second designated cell of the UE belong to different base stations and physical sites.
Here, the first designated cell may be an inter-frequency neighboring cell in a different base station. And if the identification information of the pilot frequency adjacent cell carried in the fourth measurement event report is the same-station pilot frequency adjacent cell, the eNodeB rejects the UE to perform cell switching.
In addition, the execution subject for implementing the method provided by the embodiment of the present application is not limited to the eNodeB, and may be any network side device capable of implementing the above functions.
By adopting the embodiment of the application, when the UE moves towards the center of the serving cell, aiming at the co-station pilot frequency adjacent cell, the first measurement event can be utilized to trigger the UE to start pilot frequency measurement, namely the pilot frequency measurement is started when the measured signal intensity of the serving cell is higher than a first threshold, and because the signal intensity near the center of the cell is higher, the UE can timely initiate the pilot frequency measurement when moving to the vicinity of the center of the cell and then is switched to the pilot frequency adjacent cell positioned at the center of the cell, in addition, because the A2 event with a higher threshold value is not used, the UE positioned at the edge of the cell is also prevented from starting unnecessary pilot frequency measurement, thereby effectively reducing the loss of the uplink and downlink service rates of the UE. When the UE moves towards the edge of the serving cell, for the inter-cell inter-frequency neighboring cell, the second measurement event may be used to trigger the UE to start the inter-frequency measurement, that is, the inter-frequency measurement is started when the measured signal strength of the serving cell is lower than the second threshold.
Example two
As shown in fig. 3, a diagram illustrating a handover strategy of a handover event of an LTE inter-frequency networking according to a second embodiment of the present application is provided. An F-band cell and a D-band cell are deployed on an eNodeB _1 site, and the D-band cell is located at a cell center position. D frequency band cells are deployed on the eNodeB _2 site.
When the UE occupies the F frequency band cell to initiate service, after establishing RRC connection with eNodeB _1, eNodeB _1 will issue two sets of measurement configuration information to the UE simultaneously through RRC reconfiguration signaling. The first measurement configuration information carries an a1_1 measurement event and an a2_1 measurement event, and is used for controlling the UE to start inter-frequency measurement when the UE moves towards the serving cell center. The second measurement configuration information carries an a1_2 measurement event and an a2_2 measurement event, and is used for controlling the UE to start inter-frequency measurement when the UE moves towards the edge of the serving cell.
In a specific implementation, when the UE moves to the direction of the D-band cell in the same station, if the RSRP of the occupied F-band cell is measured to satisfy the a1_1 measurement event, that is, the RSRP of the occupied F-band cell is measured to be greater than the first threshold, the UE reports the a1_1 measurement event report to the eNodeB _ 1. After receiving the a1_1 measurement event report, eNodeB _1 issues third measurement configuration information carrying a third measurement event to the UE through an RRC reconfiguration signaling, so as to instruct the UE to measure the RSRP of the inter-frequency neighboring cell. Here, the third measurement event is identified with an a4_1 measurement event. And after receiving the A4_1 measurement event, the UE measures the RSRP of the pilot frequency adjacent cell. And when the RSRP of the pilot frequency adjacent cell measured by the UE meets the A4_1 measurement event, reporting an A4_1 measurement event report to the eNodeB _ 1.
Here, after receiving the a4_1 measurement event report, eNodeB _1 determines whether the identifier information of the measured pilot frequency neighboring cell carried in the a4_1 measurement event report is a peer-to-peer D-band neighboring cell, if so, triggers a subsequent pilot frequency handover procedure, otherwise, does not perform subsequent processing. In the embodiment of the present application, the subsequent inter-frequency handover procedure triggered by eNodeB _1 is the same as the inter-frequency handover procedure in the prior art, and details thereof are not described here.
As can be seen from the above process, when the UE moves to the co-located D-band cell, the measurement event a1_1 may be used to trigger the start of inter-frequency measurement, and the measurement event a4_1 may be used to trigger the handover of the inter-frequency neighboring cell.
Further, when the UE moves to the co-sited D band cell direction, there may occur a case where the a2_1 measurement event has been satisfied before the a4_1 measurement event is satisfied after the a1_1 measurement event is satisfied. For example, after moving a certain distance to the cell direction of the co-located D-band and starting the inter-frequency measurement, the UE continues to move in the opposite direction. In this scenario, there may be a2_1 measurement event that has been satisfied before the a4_1 measurement event is satisfied, and the UE will continue to report a2_1 measurement event report to the eNodeB. After receiving the a2_1 measurement event report, the eNodeB sends an indication to the UE to stop inter-frequency measurement, so as to inform the UE to stop measuring the signal strength of the inter-frequency neighbor. In this case, the UE will not report the a4_1 measurement event reported to the eNodeB, i.e. will not trigger the handover procedure of the subsequent inter-frequency neighbor.
The suggested value for the first threshold set in the a1_1 measurement event may be-80 dbm, which may range between-90 and-75 dbm. In practical application, the first threshold value can be adjusted according to practical situations, so that the UE can be switched from the F frequency band cell to the D frequency band cell of the same station in time. Moreover, the difference of 3dbm is reserved for setting the fifth threshold value of the a2_1 measurement event and the first threshold value of the a1_1 measurement event, so as to avoid frequently triggering the a2_1 measurement event, which causes the interruption of the inter-frequency measurement process. For example, the threshold value for the A2_1 measurement event may be set to-83 dbm.
In a specific implementation, when the UE moves to the direction of the D-band cell of the different station, if it is measured that the RSRP of the occupied F-band cell meets the a2_2 measurement event, that is, it is measured that the RSRP of the occupied F-band cell is smaller than the second threshold, the UE reports an a2_2 measurement event report to the eNodeB _ 1. After receiving the a2_2 measurement event report, eNodeB _1 issues fourth measurement configuration information carrying a fourth measurement event to the UE through an RRC reconfiguration signaling, so as to instruct the UE to measure the RSRP of the inter-frequency neighboring cell. Here, the fourth measurement event is identified with an a4_2 measurement event. And after receiving the A4_2 measurement event, the UE measures the RSRP of the pilot frequency adjacent cell. And when the RSRP of the pilot frequency adjacent cell measured by the UE meets the A4_2 measurement event, reporting an A4_2 measurement event report to an eNodeB _ 1.
Here, after receiving the a4_2 measurement event report, eNodeB _1 determines whether the identifier information of the measured pilot frequency neighboring cell carried in the a4_2 measurement event report is a pilot D frequency band neighboring cell, if so, triggers a subsequent pilot frequency handover procedure, otherwise, does not perform subsequent processing. In the embodiment of the present application, the subsequent inter-frequency handover procedure triggered by eNodeB _1 is the same as the inter-frequency handover procedure in the prior art, and details thereof are not described here.
As can be seen from the above process, when the UE moves to the direction of the cell in the different-frequency band D, the measurement event a2_2 may be used to trigger the start of the different-frequency measurement, and the measurement event a4_2 may be used to trigger the handover of the different-frequency neighboring cell.
In addition, when the UE moves to the direction of the cell of the alien D band, there may occur a case where the a1_2 measurement event is satisfied before the a4_2 measurement event is satisfied after the a2_2 measurement event is satisfied. For example, after moving a certain distance to the cell direction of the different-station D-band and starting the different-frequency measurement, the UE continues to move in the opposite direction. In this scenario, there may be a1_2 measurement event that has been satisfied before the a4_2 measurement event is satisfied, and the UE will continue to report a1_2 measurement event report to the eNodeB. After receiving the a1_2 measurement event report, the eNodeB sends an indication to the UE to stop inter-frequency measurement, so as to inform the UE to stop measuring the signal strength of the inter-frequency neighbor. In this case, the UE will not report the a4_2 measurement event reported to the eNodeB, i.e. will not trigger the handover procedure of the subsequent inter-frequency neighbor.
The recommended value for the second threshold set in the a2_2 measurement event may be-105 dbm, which may range from-108 to-102 dbm. In practical application, the second threshold value can be adjusted according to practical conditions, so that the UE can be switched from the F frequency band cell to the D frequency band cell of the different station in time. And, the difference of 3dbm is reserved for setting the sixth threshold value of the a1_2 measurement event and the second threshold value of the a2_2 measurement event, so as to avoid frequently triggering the a1_2 measurement event, which causes the interruption of the inter-frequency measurement process. For example, the threshold value for the A1_2 measurement event may be set to-102 dbm.
It can be known from the above flow that, by using the pilot frequency measurement control method provided in the embodiment of the present application as a pilot frequency switching control strategy, when the UE moves towards the center of the serving cell, for the co-sited pilot frequency neighboring cell, the pilot frequency measurement may be triggered by using an a1_1 measurement event, that is, the pilot frequency measurement is started when the measured signal intensity of the F-band cell is higher than the first threshold, because the signal intensity near the center of the cell is higher, the UE can timely initiate the pilot frequency measurement when moving to near the center of the cell, and then switch to the co-sited D-band cell located at the center of the cell, in addition, because an a2 event with a higher threshold is not used, the UE located at the edge of the cell is also prevented from starting unnecessary pilot frequency measurement, and thus the loss of the uplink and downlink service rates of the UE is effectively reduced. When the UE moves towards the edge of the serving cell, for the inter-cell inter-frequency neighboring cell, the a2_2 measurement event may be used to trigger the UE to start inter-frequency measurement, that is, the inter-frequency measurement is started when the measured signal strength of the F-band cell is lower than the second threshold.
Based on the same application concept, the embodiment of the present application further provides a pilot frequency measurement control device corresponding to the pilot frequency measurement control method, and because the principle of solving the problem of the device is similar to that of the pilot frequency measurement control method in the embodiment of the present application, the implementation of the device can refer to the implementation of the method, and repeated details are not repeated.
