Step 302, base station it is determined that without can for Relay node serves cell after, to Relay nodes send remove
The area of coverage indicates that, for indicating that the reason for Relay nodes cause wireless backhaul to interrupt occurs, Relay nodes are to connection
User equipment switches over processing.
Here the signal quality value of Relay nodes is the signal quality value that the Relay nodes received are reported, i.e.,
Relay nodes provide wireless backhaul signal quality value.
In force, base station determines whether can there is many kinds for the mode of the cell of Relay node serves, arranges below
Lift several:
First, base station is according to from OAM(Operations and Maintenance, operation and maintenance)Equipment is each base
Stand configuration Neighboring Cell List in indicate adjacent area whether can as Donor cells information, determine whether can for Relay section
The cell of point service.
Specifically, OAM equipment indicates whether adjacent area can be as Donor in the Neighboring Cell List configured for each eNB
Cell, such as indicate whether corresponding adjacent area can be used as Donor cell using 1bit.Such as " 1 " is can be so that " 0 " is can not
With.
2nd, base station according to from other base stations whether can as donor base station DeNB information, determine whether energy
Enough it is the cell of Relay node serves.
Specifically, when setting up X2 interface between eNB, interaction oneself whether can as DeNB information.Specifically may be used
To be set up in existing X2 in the message of process, increase 1bit Donor indicates to come whether this eNB can be used as DeNBl.For example
" 1 " is can be so that " 0 " is cannot.Or
In eNB configuration update messages, interaction oneself whether can as DeNB information.Specifically can be existing
In eNB config update request messages, increase 1bit Donor indicates to indicate whether this eNB can be as DeNB.Such as " 1 "

Reason etc..
Several examples are enumerated below for above-mentioned several situations to illustrate.
Example one, Relay service DeNB notify Relay, and it will enter the region covered without DeNB.
As shown in figure 4, OAM of the embodiment of the present invention indicates that the method for base station comprises the following steps:
Indicate whether adjacent area can be as Donor cell in the Neighboring Cell List that step 401, OAM configure for each eNB;
Step 402, the service DeNB of Relay nodes receive the measurement report that Relay is sent;
The measurement report that step 403, the service DeNB analysis Relay nodes of Relay nodes are reported, if Relay is small at this
Area's signal quality then determines whether to can be used as the Donor cell of Target cell already less than first threshold.If it has not, then
Perform step 404;If any then triggerable Relay switchings.
Step 404, service DeNB notify Relay nodes, and it is possibly removed the DeNB areas of coverage;
Above-mentioned service DeNB determines that a kind of possible implementation method for the Donor cell that not can be used as Target cell is:
According to Relay measurement report, service DeNB has found Relay current service cell signal quality already less than first threshold,
And measurement report is shown, signal quality is preferable(Such as signal quality is more than first threshold)Cell in, not can be used as Donor
Cell cell.
The service DeNB of Relay nodes is sent to Relay to be removed after the area of coverage indicates, optionally, Relay nodes are to DeNB
Return to ACK(Confirm)Response.
Step 405:When Relay nodes confirm to enter the region without DeNB coverings, Relay nodes will its lower clothes
The UE of business is switched to suitable Target cell.The switching flow used can continue to use existing UE switching flows, herein no longer
Repeat.Specific to the selection of UE switching target small areas, Relay nodes can using be implemented as described below in scheme any one or it is many
The combination planted:
The target cell that the service Donor cell that Relay nodes select oneself current switch as UE;
Relay nodes, according to the mobility measurements result of oneself, are UE selection target cell, for example Relay is according to oneself
To the measurement result of each cell of network, the preferable cell of the formation selection signal quality such as the load of each cell as UE switching mesh
Mark cell;
The mobility measurements result that Relay nodes are reported according to UE, is UE selection targets cell(With existing target cell's
Selection mechanism is identical), such as UE reports oneself measurement result to each cell of network, Relay nodes based on UE report it is each small
The signal in area, the preferable cell of formation selection signal quality such as the load of each cell as UE switching target cell.
Indicate whether adjacent area can walk as Donor cell in the Neighboring Cell List configured except OAM equipment for each eNB
In rapid 401, when can also set up X2 interface between eNB, interaction oneself whether can as DeNB information;Can also be
In eNB configuration update messages, interaction oneself whether can as DeNB information.
Example two, Relay nodes by reading metrical information of eating dishes without rice or wine judge that the region covered without DeNB will be entered
Step 1:It is that the cell that can be Donor reserves specific PCI in the network planning(Physical Cell ID,
Physical cell identity)Set;
Step 2:Donor cell determine the PCI of oneself from reserved PCI set;
Step 3:Relay nodes are by measurement process of eating dishes without rice or wine, it is determined that can be detected the PCI of cell.If taken currently
During Donor cell signals variation of being engaged in, Relay nodes can not detect a signal quality preferably, and PCI belongs to above-mentioned reserved
The cell of set, then Relay nodes judge its will enter without DeNB cover region.
Step 4:It is identical with the step 405 of example one.
Example three, Relay nodes by reading system message of eating dishes without rice or wine judge that the region covered without DeNB will be entered:
Step 1:Increase supports RN to indicate in system message, and the cell that can be used as Donor cell is wide in system message
Broadcast the instruction;
Step 2:Correspondence is indicated in Relay node read system messages, and combines measurement result of eating dishes without rice or wine, and judging whether will
Into the region covered without DeNB.If when current service Donor cell signals are deteriorated, Relay nodes can not be detected
One signal quality preferably, and broadcasts the cell for supporting that RN is indicated, then Relay judges that it will enter what no DeNB was covered
Region.
In order to avoid excessive fetching adjacent domain system message, Relay nodes can need to read using following method choice
Take the cell of system message:Relay nodes are after analysis measurement result, the preferable non-service cell of selection signal quality, read
Its system message, supports RN to indicate to determine if to carry(I.e.:Whether can be accessed as donor cell).
Step 3:It is identical with the step 405 of example one.
