Embodiment
The embodiment of the present invention is applicable to the polymerization of many base stations, particularly carries separated scene.
Fig. 3 shows a kind of typical layered network architecture.As shown in Figure 3, macro base station (note is Macro eNB) provides basis to cover, lower powered local node (being labeled as Small cell in figure) provides focus to cover, between local node and Macro eNB, have data and/or signaling interface (can be wired or wireless interface), UE can be operated under Macro eNB or local node.The cell coverage area of controlling due to local node is little, and the UE of service is few, so be connected to the UE of local node, often can obtain better service quality.Therefore,, when being connected to the UE of Macro eNB and entering the coverage of the corresponding community of local node, can transfer to the service that local node provides to obtain local node; When UE is during away from the corresponding cell coverage area of local node, need to transfer to the community that Macro eNB controls, to keep wireless connections.
The network architecture shown in Fig. 2 can support carrying separated.Under carrying separation scene, in Macro eNB community and Small cell community overlapping covered, support the separated UE of carrying to may be simultaneously operated under Macro eNB and Small Cell, use the resource of a plurality of base stations.
Especially, when UE supports CA(Carrier Aggregation under SeNB, carrier aggregation) time, under SeNB, can there is one and the similar community of MeNB PCell (hereinafter to be referred as SeNB PCell) in UE, this community possesses the function of similar MeNB PCell, supported data transmission, dispose PUCCH(Physical Uplink Control CHannel, physical uplink control channel) etc., but can not be as per UE(according to UE) the community that maintains of RRC link use.
It has been generally acknowledged that: under many base stations polymerization scene of (comprising the base station polymerization that carrying is separated), in a plurality of base stations of UE polymerization, using and provide the base station of grand covering Macro eNB as main control base station Master eNB(or claim MeNB), using and provide the Small Cell base station of focus covering as Secondary eNB(or claim SeNB).Take below that grand covering to be provided and to maintain the base station being connected with UE RRC be MeNB, other base stations of UE polymerization are that SeNB is example explanation.
The embodiment of the present invention is particularly carried separated scene for the polymerization of many base stations, has proposed non-competing accidental access method and competitive random access method, realizes terminal in the random access of slave base stations.
In conjunction with accessing at random, initiate scene and carrying separated transmission framework, conventionally in following several possibility situations, need to trigger the random access procedure of UE on SeNB community:
-according to load balancing, UE measurement, reporting as MeNB, judgement need to be separated to the part carrying of supporting the UE that carrying is separated when managing on selected SeNB and transmitting, and MeNB triggers the carrying separation process of this UE and selected SeNB.UE is according to the carrying detach message of MeNB notice, and initiating random access procedure on corresponding SeNB, to realize the uplink synchronous with SeNB;
-according to load balancing, UE measurement, report when SeNB telegon (being small cell coordinator), judgement need to be separated to the part carrying of supporting the UE that carrying is separated when managing on another SeNB and transmitting, this UE of base station triggers of SeNB master controller notice UE work at present and the carrying separation process of selected SeNB.UE is according to the carrying detach message that receives, and initiating random access procedure on corresponding SeNB, to realize the uplink synchronous with SeNB.Wherein, when small cell cluster(small-cell cluster) do not belong to any MeNB coverage, and support, in the separated situation of carrying, to introduce small cell coordinator.Small cell coordinator is used for its coordination of descending all small cell, route, management etc., can be an independently entity, can be also a logical functional entity;
-carry separated UE in up with SeNB community UL() desynchronizing state, and the UE that is separated in the upper transmission of SeNB is when carrying corresponding downlink data and arriving;
-carry separated UE in SeNB community UL desynchronizing state, and the UE that is separated in the upper transmission of SeNB is when carrying corresponding upstream data and arriving;
-carry separated UE in SeNB community, not configure D-SR(Dedicated Scheduling Request, specific schedule request) resource or D-SR transmission surpasses maximum transmission times, and the UE that is separated in the upper transmission of SeNB is when carrying corresponding upstream data and arriving.
In above-mentioned several situation, there is in two kinds of situations base station cannot know that UE SeNB community RA demand or SeNB community UL scheduling of resource demand: UE are when SeNB cell uplink step-out and upstream data reach, or when UE upstream data arrives but do not configure the D-SR of corresponding SeNB or D-SR transmission and surpass maximum transmission times.To both of these case, need UE initiatively initiating random access procedure, i.e. CBRA.Under other SeNB RA scenes, because SeNB has prior information, conventionally adopt CFRA process (when competition RA resource is inadequate, can indicate UE to initiate CBRA by base station).
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, respectively non-competing accidental access method and competitive random access method are described.
