如图 1A所示, 为本发明以下各实施例的一种应用场景示意图。 如图 1A 所示, 该应用场景包括宏基站和低功率节点(Low Power Node, 简称为 LPN) 。 LPN可以是无线保真 (Wireless Fidel ity, 简称为 WiFi ) 接入点 (Access Point, 简称为 AP) 、 微 (Pico) 小区中的基站或小 (Smal l ) 小区中的基站 等, 这些 LPN的覆盖范围较小, 其覆盖半径一般从几十到几百米。 其中, 宏 基站的覆盖范围通常大于 LPN的覆盖范围。
UE通常根据基站的测量配置信息进行测量和报告触发。 此时, 基站就会 根据 UE上报的测量报告控制 UE切换到邻接小区。 结合图 1A所示, 当 UE处 于中、 高速移动时, 如果将 UE切换到 LPN小区, 由于 LPN的覆盖范围较小, UE很快又会从该 LPN小区切出, 这种不必要的切换会造成网络资源的消耗, 同时由于切换会造成业务中断。 针对该问题, 本发明以下实施例给出了解决 图 1B为本发明实施例提供的一种测量方法的流程图。 如图 1B所示, 所 述方法包括:

在本实施例中, 基站向 UE发送的测量配置信息除了指示 UE对邻接小区 进行测量之外,该测量配置信息还携带报告触发条件用于指示 UE在满足所述 报告触发条件时进行测量报告的上报。 进一歩, 在本实施例中, 为了解决基 站根据测量报告的上报对 UE进行移动性管理时, 可能控制 UE频繁进行小区 切换等问题,基站发送给 UE的报告触发条件包括信号变化触发条件。可选的, 该信号变化触发条件可以为邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质 量在监视时段内的变化范围小于变化门限,也就是说当 UE监视到某个邻接小 区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量在监视时段内的变化范围小于变 化门限时, 才会触发测量报告的上报。 其中, 邻接小区的无线信号接收强度 可以是参考信号接收功率(Reference Signal Received Power, 简称为 RSRP) 或接收信道功率指示 (Received Channel Power Indicator, 简称为 RCPI ) , 但不限于此。 邻接小区的无线信号接收质量可以是参考信号接收质量 (Reference Signal Receiving Quality, 简称为 RSRQ) 或接收信号与噪音 指示 (Received Signal to Noise Indicator, 简称为 RSNI ) , 但不限于此。 其中, RCPI主要用于反映 WiFi信道的信号强度; RSNI主要用于反映 WiFi信 道的干扰情况。
在本实施例中,所述信号变化触发条件中的变化门限和监视时段等参数, 可由基站根据应用场景灵活配置。 例如, 基站可以配置这些参数为小区级参 数, 也就是说同一工作频段的不同小区对应的所述信号变化触发条件中的监 视时段和 /或变化门限可以不同。另外, 基站还可以配置这些参数为频段级参 数, 也就是说不同工作频段的小区对应的所述信号变化触发条件中的监视时 段和 /或变化门限可以不同。 其中, 工作频段可以为载波。 或者, 所述信号变 化触发条件中的变化门限和监视时段等参数, 也可由协议规定。
在此说明, 所述信号变化触发条件中的监视时段可由邻接小区的覆盖范 围确定, 一般是邻接小区的覆盖范围越大, 所述监视时段越长。 所述信号变 化触发条件中的变化门限可由邻接小区的信号衰减和 UE的移动速度确定,但 不限于此。 举例说明, 假设希望限制的 UE的移动速度是 60千米每小时, 邻 接小区的覆盖半径为 200米, 则 UE移动 200米的距离需要 12秒左右, 则监 视时段应该小于 12秒; 如果监视时段设置为 1秒, 则 1秒移动 16. 7米, 如 果在 16. 7米范围内邻接小区的信号衰减为 X, 则配置的变化门限可以为 x。
以 LTE系统为例, 对歩骤 101的有关内容进行说明。 在 LTE系统中, 基 站可以向 UE发送无线资源控制 (Radio Resource Control , 简称为 RRC ) 连 接重配置消息, 该 RRC连接重配消息包含测量配置 (measConfig) 信元, 该 measConfig信元用于配置测量配置信息。 在本实施例中, 该 measConfig信 元中除了已有的测量配置信息外, 增加一种新的报告触发条件, 即信号变化 触发条件, UE只有信号变化触发条件满足时才能触发测量报告。 该信号变化 触发条件, 例如可以包括变化门限和 /或监视时段。信号变化触发条件可以是 频段级的, 即一个频段对应一个信号变化触发条件。 信号变化触发条件也可 以是更详细的小区级的, 即一个频段下的不同小区有些可以配置信号变化触 发条件, 有些可以不配置, 对于配置了信号变化触发条件的小区, 可以配置 不同的变化门限和监视时段。
102、 UE根据所述测量配置信息, 对所述邻接小区的信号进行测量。 UE接收到基站发送的测量配置信息后, 根据该测量配置信息的指示, 对 邻接小区的信号进行测量。 所述邻接小区可以包括但不限于: 微小区 (Pico cel l ) 、 小小区 (smal l cel l ) 、 WiFi接入点和宏小区。 103、 当 UE确定的测量结果为所述邻接小区满足所述信号变化触发条件 时, 生成测量报告并向基站上报所述测量报告。
在本实施例中, UE在信号变化触发条件指定的监视时段内监视邻接小区 的信号变化, 并根据对邻接小区的测量结果, 判断所述邻接小区是否满足所 述信号变化触发条件, 在判断结果为满足时, 生成测量报告并向基站上报所 述测量报告。 所述测量报告包含触发测量报告的小区(可能是一个或多个) , 以及小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量,例如可以是 RSRP或 RSRQ 等信息。
在此说明, 在本实施例中, 所述测量报告主要用于所述基站确定是否将 所述 UE向所述邻接小区进行切换。
在本实施例中, UE在邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量 在监视时段内的变化范围大于或等于变化门限时不会上报测量报告, 也就是 说, UE在处于中、 高速运动状态时不会上报测量报告, 而只有在邻接小区的 无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量在监视时段内的变化范围小于变化门 限时才上报测量报告,也就是说 UE只有在处于低速运动或静止状态时才会向 基站上报测量报告, 对基站来说, 在收到 UE上报的测量报告后, 才对 UE进 行移动性管理, 例如控制 UE进行小区切换, 或增加触发测量报告的小区作为 辅小区 (SCel l )等, 与现有技术相比, 本实施例提供的方法解决了现有技术 存在的 UE处于中、 高速移动等场景下频繁进行小区切换的问题, 有利于减少 基站基于测量报告对 UE进行移动性管理过程中造成的不必要的切换,有利于 节约网络资源, 减少造成的业务中断, 从而提高用户体验。
在图 1B所示实施例的一种可选实施方式中,所述测量配置信息携带的报 告触发条件还包括信号强度 /质量触发条件。 基于此, 所述方法还包括: UE 根据所述邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量, 确定所述邻接 小区满足所述信号强度 /质量触发条件。 其中, 本发明实施例对 UE根据所述 邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量, 确定所述邻接小区满足 所述信号强度 /质量触发条件的歩骤, 与 UE确定所述邻接小区满足所述信号 变化触发条件的歩骤之间的先后顺序不做限定。
其中, UE根据所述邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量, 确定所述邻接小区是否满足所述信号强度 /质量触发条件的过程包括: UE 根 据基站下发的所述信号强度 /质量触发条件,测量邻接小区的信号得到该邻接 小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量, 基于测量到的邻接小区的无 线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量确定所述邻接小区是否满足所述信号强 度 /质量触发条件。 举例说明, 对于 A3测量事件, UE根据基站下发的所述信 号强度 /质量触发条件, 测量邻接小区的信号得到该邻接小区的 RSRP, 在判 断是否触发测量报告时, UE首先判断测量的邻接小区的 RSRP 比服务小区的 RSRP 是否高出指定门限, 如果判断结果为是, 且在基站还配置了时间触发 ( Time To Trigger ) 机制的情况下, UE进一歩判断在配置的触发时间内是 否一直满足邻接小区的 RSRP比服务小区的 RSRP高出指定门限, 如果是, 则 确定所述邻接小区满足所述信号强度 /质量触发条件。
在一可选实施方式中, 如图 2A所示, 所述方法包括:
201、 UE接收基站发送的测量配置信息, 所述测量配置信息携带有报告 触发条件, 所述报告触发条件包括信号变化触发条件, 所述信号变化触发条 件为邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量在监视时段内的变化 范围小于变化门限。
202、 UE根据所述测量配置信息, 对所述邻接小区的信号进行测量。
203a, UE根据测量到的邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质 量, 确定所述邻接小区满足所述信号强度 /质量触发条件。
203、 UE确定测量结果是否为所述邻接小区满足所述信号变化触发条件, 在确定满足时, 执行歩骤 204; 在确定不满足时, 结束此次操作。
204、 生成测量报告并向基站上报所述测量报告。
上述歩骤 201、 202、 203a和 203可参见图 1B所示实施例的描述, 在此 不再赘述。
基于上述, UE对邻接小区的信号变化进行监视的启动时机可以分为两种, 下面分别进行说明。
一种方式是,当邻接小区满足所述信号强度 /质量触发条件满足时或当邻 接小区满足所述信号强度 /质量触发条件满足之后, 启动信号变化监视。基于 此, 歩骤 103或歩骤 203中确定测量结果是否为所述邻接小区满足所述信号 变化触发条件的一种实现方式包括: UE在确定所述邻接小区满足所述信号强 度 /质量触发条件之后,对所述邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收 质量进行监视, 判断所述邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量 在所述监视时段的变化范围是否小于所述变化门限, 如果判断结果为是, 则 判定所述邻接小区满足所述信号变化触发条件, 如果判断结果为否, 则判定 所述邻接小区不满足所述信号变化触发条件。 在该实现方式中, 所述监视时 段为: 自 UE确定所述邻接小区满足所述信号强度 /质量触发条件时开始的一 段时间。
上述实现方式的具体过程可以为: UE在确定邻接小区满足所述信号强度 /质量触发条件满足时, 启动信号变化监视, 并启动信号变化监视定时器, 其 定时时长为信号变化触发条件中的监视时段的时间长度,在该定时器超时后, 如果监视到的邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量的变化范围
(例如这里的变化范围可以是定时器期间, 监视到的无线信号接收强度或无 线信号接收质量的最小值和最大值之间的差值, 或无线信号接收强度或无线 信号接收质量的最大值与最小值的差值) 小于变化门限, 则触发测量报告的 生成和上报。这种实现方式的优点是 UE只需在实现现有报告触发条件的基础 上进行简单的功能扩展, 由于是在实现现有报告触发条件功能之后扩展针对 信号变化触发条件的判断功能, 因此不需要对实现现有报告触发条件的功能 进行改动, 实现相对简单。
另一种方式是, 在对邻接小区进行测量的期间启动对邻接小区的无线信 号接收强度或无线信号接收质量的监视, 并保存一段时间内监视到的邻接小 区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量。 基于此, 歩骤 103或歩骤 203 中确定测量结果是否为所述邻接小区满足所述信号变化触发条件的一种实现 方式包括: UE在确定所述邻接小区满足所述信号强度 /质量触发条件之后, 判断所述邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量在所述监视时段 内的变化范围是否小于所述变化门限, 如果判断结果为是, 则判定所述邻接 小区满足所述信号变化触发条件, 如果判断结果为否, 则判定所述邻接小区 不满足所述信号变化触发条件。 在该实现方式中, 所述监视时段为: 到 UE确 定所述邻接小区满足所述信号强度 /质量触发条件时结束的一段时间,也就是 保存监视到邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量的一段时间。
上述实现方式的具体过程可以为: UE在对邻接小区进行测量的期间启动 对邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量的监视, 并保存一段时 间内监视到的邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量, 当邻接小 区满足所述报告触发条件满足后, 则向后査看监视时段这段时间内保存的邻 接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量的变化范围, 将该变化范围 与变化门限进行比较, 如果小于变化门限, 则触发测量报告的生成与上报。 这种实现方式的优点是在确定邻接小区满足信号强度 /质量触发条件之前,对 邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量进行监视, 一旦确定邻接 小区满足信号强度 /质量触发条件,可以直接将之前监视到的无线信号接收强 度或无线信号接收质量的变化范围, 与变化门限进行比较, 并及时根据比较 结果上报测量报告, 由于在确定邻接小区满足信号强度 /质量触发条件后不需 要等待对邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量的监视, 测量报 告的上报时延较小。
其中,所述信号强度 /质量触发条件为所述邻接小区的无线信号接收强度 或无线信号接收质量在触发时间(Time To Trigger) 内一直满足指定的门限。 基于此, 对于第二种情况, 第二监视时间段可以小于或等于触发时间的时长。 优选的, 第二监视时间段可以等于触发时间的时长, 即在启动触发时间对应 的定时器时, 启动信号变化监视。 这种方式可以简化 UE的实现, 对标准影响 较小。
如图 2B所示, 为本发明实施例与现有技术方案的比较结果。 由图 2B可 见, 本发明实施例中测量报告上报的触发点与现有技术中测量报告上报的触 发点要滞后,从而可以减少基站基于测量报告的上报对 UE进行移动性管理过 程中不必要的管理操作。
进一歩可基于上述各实施方式或情况, UE在确定上报测量报告之前, 可 以査看当前邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量是否高于一个 门限, 如果不高于该门限, 则不上报测量报告。
由上述可见, 在本实施例方式中, 触发测量报告除了当前协议规定的需 要满足信号强度 /信号质量触发条件外,还需要满足信号变化触发条件才能触 发测量报告, 即只有认为 UE 处于低速移动或处于静止状态时才上报测量报 告,有利于减少基站基于测量报告的上报对 UE进行移动性管理过程中不必要 的切换, 有利于节约网络资源, 减少造成的业务中断, 从而提高用户体验。
图 3为本发明实施例提供的一种测量控制方法的流程图。 如图 3所示, 所述方法包括:
301、 基站向 UE发送测量配置信息, 所述测量配置信息携带有报告触发 条件, 所述报告触发条件包括信号变化触发条件, 所述信号变化触发条件为 邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量在监视时段内的变化范围 小于变化门限。
302、基站接收 UE上报的测量报告, 所述测量报告是 UE根据所述测量配 置信息, 对所述邻接小区的信号进行测量, 并在确定出测量结果为所述邻接 小区满足所述信号变化触发条件后生成并发送的。
本实施例是从基站的角度进行的描述。在本实施例中, 基站向 UE发送的 测量配置信息除了指示 UE对邻接小区进行测量之外,该测量配置信息还携带 报告触发条件用于指示 UE在满足所述报告触发条件时进行测量报告的上报。 进一歩, 在本实施例中, 为了解决根据 UE上报的测量报告对 UE进行移动性 管理时, 可能控制 UE频繁进行小区切换等问题, 基站发送给 UE的报告触发 条件包括信号变化触发条件。 可选的, 该信号变化触发条件可以为邻接小区 的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量在监视时段内的变化范围小于变化 门限,也就是说当 UE监视到某个邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接 收质量在监视时段内的变化范围小于变化门限时,才会触发测量报告的上报。 其中, 邻接小区的无线信号接收强度可以是 RSRP或 RCPI , 但不限于此。 邻 接小区的无线信号接收质量可以是 RSRQ或 RSNI , 但不限于此。 其中, RCPI 主要用于反映 WiFi信道的信号强度; RSNI主要用于反映 WiFi信道的干扰情 况。
所述邻接小区可以包括但不限于: 微小区(Pico cel l )、 小小区(small cel l ) 、 WiFi接入点和宏小区。
在本实施例中,所述信号变化触发条件中的变化门限和监视时段等参数, 可由基站根据应用场景灵活配置。 例如, 基站可以配置这些参数为小区级参 数, 也就是说同一工作频段的不同小区对应的所述信号变化触发条件中的监 视时段和 /或变化门限可以不同。另外, 基站还可以配置这些参数为频段级参 数, 也就是说不同工作频段的小区对应的所述信号变化触发条件中的监视时 段和 /或变化门限可以不同。 其中, 工作频段可以为载波。 或者, 所述信号变 化触发条件中的变化门限和监视时段等参数, 也可由协议规定。 在此说明, 所述信号变化触发条件中的监视时段可由邻接小区的覆盖范 围确定, 一般是邻接小区的覆盖范围越大, 所述监视时段越长。 所述信号变 化触发条件中的变化门限可由邻接小区的信号衰减和 UE的移动速度确定,但 不限于此。 举例说明, 假设希望限制的 UE的移动速度是 60千米每小时, 邻 接小区的覆盖半径为 200米, 则 UE移动 200米的距离需要 12秒左右, 则监 视时段应该小于 12秒; 如果监视时段设置为 1秒, 则 1秒移动 16. 7米, 如 果在 16. 7米范围内邻接小区的信号衰减为 X, 则配置的变化门限可以为 x。
以 LTE系统为例, 对歩骤 301有关内容进行说明。 在 LTE系统中, 基站 可以向 UE发送 RRC连接重配置消息, 该 RRC连接重配消息包含 measConfig 信元, 该 measConfig 信元用于配置测量配置信息。 在本实施例中, 该 measConfig信元中除了已有的测量配置信息外,增加一种新的报告触发条件, 即信号变化触发条件, UE只有信号变化触发条件满足时才能触发测量报告。 该信号变化触发条件, 例如可以包括变化门限和 /或监视时段。信号变化触发 条件可以是频段级的, 即一个频段对应一个信号变化触发条件。 信号变化触 发条件也可以是更详细的小区级的, 即一个频段下的不同小区有些可以配置 信号变化触发条件, 有些可以不配置, 对于配置了信号变化触发条件的小区, 可以配置不同的变化门限和监视时段。
关于 UE接收到测量配置信息后,根据所述测量配置信息进行的操作可参 见图 1B和图 2A所示实施例的描述, 在此不再赘述。
基站在向 UE发送测量配置信息后, 会接收到 UE上报的测量报告。 在本 实施例中,基站接收到的测量报告是 UE根据对邻接小区的测量结果判断出所 述邻接小区满足所述信号变化触发条件后生成并发送的。
对基站来说, 在接收到 UE上报的测量报告之后, 可以对 UE进行移动性 管理, 例如控制 UE进行小区切换, 或者将触发测量报告的小区配置为 Scel l 等。 也就是说, 在本实施例中, 所述基站根据 UE上报的测量报告, 确定 UE 是否向所述邻接小区进行切换。
在本实施例中, 由于 UE只有在邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号 接收质量在监视时段内的变化范围小于变化门限时才上报测量报告, 即只有 认为 UE处于低速运动状态或静止状态时, 才上报测量报告, 而基站也只接收 到处于低速运动状态或静止状态的 UE发送的测量报告,然后对上报测量报告 的 UE进行移动性管理, 与现有技术相比, 解决了现有技术存在的 UE处于中、 高速移动等场景下频繁进行小区切换的问题, 有利于减少基站基于测量报告 对 UE进行移动性管理过程中造成的不必要的切换, 有利于节约网络资源, 减 少造成的业务中断, 从而提高用户体验。
图 4为本发明实施例提供的又一种测量方法的流程图。 如图 4所示, 所 述方法包括:
401、 UE接收基站发送的测量配置信息, 所述测量配置信息包括有信号 变化监视指示信息, 所述信号变化监视指示信息用于指示 UE在监视时段内, 对邻接小区的信号变化进行监视并上报监视到的信号变化信息。
在本实施例中, 基站向 UE发送的测量配置信息除了指示 UE对邻接小区 进行测量之外, 为了解决基站根据测量报告的上报对 UE进行移动性管理时, 可能控制 UE频繁进行小区切换等问题, 基站发送给 UE的测量配置信息还包 括有信号变化监视指示信息, 用于指示 UE在监视时段内, 对邻接小区的信号 变化进行监视并上报监视到的信号变化信息, 这样基站可以获知邻接小区的 信号变化情况, 以便于基于邻接小区的信号变化情况有针对性的对 UE进行移 动性管理。
在本实施例中, 所述信号变化监视指示信息中的监视时段和信号变化信 息等参数, 可由基站根据应用场景灵活配置。 例如, 基站可以配监视时段为 小区级参数, 也就是说同一工作频段的不同小区对应的所述信号变化监视指 示信息中的监视时段可以不同。 又例如, 基站可以配置监视时段为频段级参 数, 也就是说不同工作频段的小区对应的所述信号变化监视指示信息中的监 视时段可以不同。 其中, 工作频段可以是载波。 或者, 所述信号变化监视指 示信息中的监视时段和信号变化信息等参数, 也可由协议规定。
其中, 邻接小区的无线信号接收强度可以是 RSRP或 RCPI , 但不限于此。 邻接小区的无线信号接收质量可以是 RSRQ或 RSNI , 但不限于此。其中, RCPI 主要用于反映 WiFi信道的信号强度; RSNI主要用于反映 WiFi信道的干扰情 况。
在此说明, 所述信号变化监视指示信息中的监视时段可由邻接小区的覆 盖范围确定, 一般是邻接小区的覆盖范围越大, 所述监视时段越长。
以 LTE系统为例, 对歩骤 401的有关内容进行说明。 在 LTE系统中, 基 站可以向 UE发送 RRC连接重配置消息,该 RRC连接重配消息包含 measConf ig 信元, 该 measConfig 信元用于配置测量配置信息。 在本实施例中, 该 measConf ig信元中除了已有的测量配置信息外, 增加一个信号变化监视指示 信息, UE需要根据该信号变化监视指示信息监视邻接小区的信号变化并上报 监视到的信号变化信息。该信号变化监视指示信息, 例如可以包括监视时段。 信号变化监视指示信息可以是频段级的, 即一个频段对应一个信号变化监视 指示信息。 信号变化监视指示信息也可以是更详细的小区级的, 即一个频段 下的不同小区有些可以配置信号变化监视指示信息, 有些可以不配置, 对于 配置了信号变化监视指示信息的小区, 可以配置不同的监视时段。
402、 UE根据所述测量配置信息, 对所述邻接小区的信号进行测量。
UE接收到基站发送的测量配置信息后, 根据该测量配置信息的指示, 对 邻接小区的信号进行测量。 所述邻接小区可以包括但不限于: 微小区 (Pico cel l ) 、 小小区 ( smal l cel l ) 、 WiFi AP和宏小区。
403、 UE 根据所述信号变化监视指示信息, 在所述监视时段内, 监视所 述邻接小区的信号变化, 并在所述监视时段后, 生成测量报告并将所监视到 的所述邻接小区的信号变化信息携带在所述测量报告中发送给所述基站。
具体的, UE在信号变化监视指示信息指定的监视时段内监视邻接小区的 信号变化, 具体根据在监视时段内对邻接小区的测量结果对邻接小区的信号 变化进行监视, 并在所述监视时段结束后, 生成测量报告并在测量报告中携 带在监视时段内监视到的信号变化信息上报给基站。 所述测量报告包含触发 测量报告的小区 (可能是一个或多个) , 以及小区的无线信号接收强度或无 线信号接收质量等信息。 进一歩, 本实施例的测量报告还包含监视到的触发 测量报告的邻接小区的信号变化信息, 该信号变化信息包括邻接小区的无线 信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量在所述监视时段内的变化范围。 具体的, 邻接小区的信号变化信息例如可以是在监视时段内监视到的该邻接小区的无 线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量的最大值与最小值的差值, 即可以是无 线信号接收强度的最大值与最小值的差值, 或者可以是无线信号接收质量的 最大值与最小值的差值。 或者, 邻接小区的信号变化信息例如可以是在监视 时段内监视到的该邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量的最大 值和最小值, 即可以是邻接小区的无线信号接收强度的最大值和最小值, 或 者是邻接小区的无线信号接收质量的最大值和最小值。
在一可选实施方式中, 所述测量配置信息还包括报告触发条件, 用于指 示 UE在满足所述报告触发条件时进行测量报告的上报。基于此, 所述方法还 包括: UE确定所述邻接小区满足所述报告触发条件。 例如, 在图 4所示实施 例的一种可选实施方式中, 所述报告触发条件包括信号强度 /质量触发条件。 所述信号强度 /质量触发条件为所述邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信 号接收质量在触发时间 (Time To Trigger) 内一直满足指定的门限。 基于此, UE确定所述邻接小区满足所述报告触发条件的过程包括: UE判断所述邻接小 区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量在触发时间内是否一直满足指定 的门限, 如果判断结果为是, 判定所述邻接小区满足所述报告触发条件; 如 果判断结果为否, 判定所述邻接小区不满足所述报告触发条件。
基于所述报告触发条件, 所述监视时段为: 自所述用户设备确定所述邻 接小区满足所述报告触发条件时开始的一段时间。 或者, 所述监视时段为: 到所述用户设备确定所述邻接小区满足所述报告触发条件时结束的一段时 间。
在图 4所示实施例的一可选实施方式中, UE对邻接小区的信号变化进行 监视的启动时机可以分为两种, 下面分别进行说明。
一种方式是, 当确定邻接小区满足上述报告触发条件满足时或当确定邻 接小区满足上述报告触发条件满足后, 启动信号变化监视。基于此, 歩骤 403 的一种实现方式包括: UE确定所述邻接小区是否满足所述报告触发条件, 在 确定所述邻接小区满足所述报告触发条件后, 生成所述测量报告, 并根据所 述信号变化监视指示信息, 在所述监视时段监视所述邻接小区的信号变化, 将在所述监视时段监视到的所述邻接小区的信号变化信息携带在所述测量报 告中发送给所述基站。 在该实现方式中, 所述监视时段为: 自 UE确定所述邻 接小区满足所述报告触发条件时开始的一段时间。
上述实现方式的具体过程可以为: UE确定邻接小区是否满足所述报告触 发条件, 在确定邻接小区满足报告触发条件满足时, 启动信号变化监视, 并 启动信号变化监视定时器, 其定时时长为所述信号变化监视指示信息中的监 视时段, 在该定时器超时后, 触发测量报告的生成与上报, 在该测量报告里 携带有在定时器器件监视到的邻接小区的信号变化信息。 这里上报的信号变 化信息可以是邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量的最大值与 信号的最小值之差, 也可以就是邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接 收质量的最大值和最小值。这种实现方式的优点是 UE只需在实现现有报告触 发条件的基础上进行简单的功能扩展, 由于是在实现现有报告触发条件功能 之后扩展针对信号变化监视指示信息的指示进行监视的功能, 因此不需要对 实现现有报告触发条件的功能进行改动, 实现简单。
另一种方式是, 在对邻接小区进行测量的期间启动对邻接小区的信号变 化的监视, 并保存一段时间内监视到的邻接小区的信号变化信息。 基于此, 歩骤 403的一种实现方式包括: UE根据所述信号变化监视指示信息, 在所述 监视时段监视所述邻接小区的信号变化, 并确定所述邻接小区是否满足所述 报告触发条件, 在确定所述邻接小区满足所述报告触发条件时, 生成所述测 量报告并将在所述监视时段监视到的所述邻接小区的信号变化信息携带在所 述测量报告中发送给所述基站。 在该实现方式中, 所述监视时段为: 到 UE确 定所述邻接小区满足所述报告触发条件时结束的一段时间, 也就是保存监视 到邻接小区的信号变化信息的一段时间。
上述实现方式的具体过程可以为: UE在对邻接小区进行测量的期间启动 对邻接小区的信号变化的监视, 并保存一段时间内监视到的邻接小区的信号 变化信息, 当邻接小区满足所述报告触发条件满足后, 立即触发测量报告的 生成与上报, 并在测量报告里携带之前保存的邻接小区的信号变化信息。 这 种实现方式的优点是在确定邻接小区满足报告触发条件之前, 对邻接小区的 无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量进行监视, 一旦确定邻接小区满足报 告触发条件, 可以直接将之前监视到的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质 量的变化范围, 与变化门限进行比较, 并及时根据比较结果上报测量报告, 由于在确定邻接小区满足报告触发条件后不需要等待对邻接小区的无线信号 接收强度或无线信号接收质量的监视, 测量报告的上报时延较小。
对于该方式, 监视时段可以小于或等于触发时间的时长。 优选的, 监视 时段的时间长度可以等于触发时间的时长, 即在启动触发时间对应的定时器 时, 启动信号变化监视。 这种方式可以简化 UE的实现, 对标准影响较小。
在此说明, 本实施例的各种实施方式或情况中, UE上报的测量报告中携 带的信号变化信息, 可以是监视时段内监视到的邻接小区的无线信号接收强 度的最大值和最小值, 或, 无线信号接收质量的最大值和最小值, 还可以是 无线信号接收质量的最大值和最小值的差值, 或无线信号接收强度的最大值 和最小值的差值, 还可以是信号变化速率, 即单位时间内的信号变化值。
进一歩可基于上述各实施方式或情况, UE在确定上报测量报告之前, 可 以査看当前邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量是否高于一个 门限, 如果不高于该门限, 则不上报测量报告。
在此说明, 在本实施例中, 所述测量报告携带的信号变化信息, 主要用 于所述基站确定是否将所述 UE向所述邻接小区进行切换。
由上述可见, 在本实施例中, UE根据基站下发的测量配置信息对邻接小 区进行测量, 并根据测量配置信息携带的信号变化监视指示信息, 在指定的 监视时段内对邻接小区的信号变化进行监视, 并在邻接小区满足测量配置信 息中的报告触发条件时, 将监视到的信号变化信息携带在测量报告中上报给 基站, 使得基站可以根据测量报告携带的信号变化信息对 UE 进行移动性管 理, 例如如果测量报告携带的信号变化信息表明触发该测量报告的邻接小区 的信号变化小于一定的值, 则认为 UE移动速度较慢或不移动, 则进行小区切 换或增加触发该测量报告的小区作为 SCel l等, 否则不进行小区切换或增加 SCel l , 与现有技术相比, 解决了现有技术存在的 UE处于中、 高速移动等场 景下频繁进行小区切换的问题,有利于减少移动性管理过程中不必要的切换, 有利于节约网络资源, 减少造成的业务中断, 从而提高用户体验。
图 5为本发明实施例提供的另一种测量控制方法的流程图。如图 5所示, 所述方法包括:
501、 基站向 UE发送测量配置信息, 所述测量配置信息包括有信号变化 监视指示信息, 所述信号变化监视指示信息用于指示 UE在监视时段内, 对邻 接小区的信号变化进行监视并上报监视到的信号变化信息。
502、基站接收 UE发送的测量报告, 所述测量报告是 UE根据所述测量配 置信息, 对邻接小区的信号进行测量, 并在所述监视时段后生成并发送的, 所述测量报告携带有 UE根据所述信号变化监视指示信息,在所述监视时段内 监视到的所述邻接小区的信号变化信息; 其中, 所述邻接小区的信号变化信 息包括所述邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量在所述监视时 段内的变化范围。 在本实施例中, 基站向 UE发送的测量配置信息除了指示 UE对邻接小区 进行测量之外, 为了解决基站根据测量报告的上报对 UE进行移动性管理时, 可能控制 UE频繁进行小区切换等问题, 基站发送给 UE的测量配置信息还包 括有信号变化监视指示信息, 用于指示 UE在监视时段内, 对邻接小区的信号 变化进行监视并上报监视到的信号变化信息, 这样基站可以获知邻接小区的 信号变化情况, 以便于基于邻接小区的信号变化情况有针对性的对 UE进行移 动性管理。
在本实施例中, 所述信号变化监视指示信息中的监视时段和信号变化信 息等参数, 可由基站根据应用场景灵活配置。 例如, 基站可以配监视时段为 小区级参数, 也就是说同一工作频段的不同小区对应的所述信号变化监视指 示信息中的监视时段可以不同。 又例如, 基站可以配置监视时段为频段级参 数, 也就是说不同工作频段的小区对应的所述信号变化监视指示信息中的监 视时段可以不同。 其中, 工作频段可以是载波。 或者, 所述信号变化监视指 示信息中的监视时段和信号变化信息等参数, 也可由协议规定。
其中, 邻接小区的无线信号接收强度可以是 RSRP或 RCPI , 但不限于此。 邻接小区的无线信号接收质量可以是 RSRQ或 RSNI , 但不限于此。其中, RCPI 主要用于反映 WiFi信道的信号强度; RSNI主要用于反映 WiFi信道的干扰情 况。
在此说明, 所述信号变化监视指示信息中的监视时段可由邻接小区的覆 盖范围确定, 一般是邻接小区的覆盖范围越大, 所述监视时段越长。
以 LTE系统为例, 对歩骤 501的有关内容进行说明。 在 LTE系统中, 基 站可以向 UE发送 RRC连接重配置消息,该 RRC连接重配消息包含 measConf ig 信元, 该 measConfig 信元用于配置测量配置信息。 在本实施例中, 该 measConf ig信元中除了已有的测量配置信息外, 增加一个信号变化监视指示 信息, UE需要根据该信号变化监视指示信息监视邻接小区的信号变化并上报 监视到的信号变化信息。该信号变化监视指示信息, 例如可以包括监视时段。 信号变化监视指示信息可以是频段级的, 即一个频段对应一个信号变化监视 指示信息。 信号变化监视指示信息也可以是更详细的小区级的, 即一个频段 下的不同小区有些可以配置信号变化监视指示信息, 有些可以不配置, 对于 配置了信号变化监视指示信息的小区, 可以配置不同的监视时段。 进一歩, 该测量配置信息还携带报告触发条件, 用于指示 UE在满足所述 报告触发条件时进行测量报告的上报。 基于所述报告触发条件, 所述监视时 段为: 自所述用户设备确定所述邻接小区满足所述报告触发条件时开始的一 段时间。 或者, 所述监视时段为: 到所述用户设备确定所述邻接小区满足所 述报告触发条件时结束的一段时间。
关于 UE接收到测量配置信息后,根据所述测量配置信息进行的操作可参 见图 4所示实施例的描述, 在此不再赘述。
基站在向 UE发送测量配置信息后, 会接收到 UE上报的测量报告。 在本 实施例中,基站接收到的测量报告携带有 UE在监视时段内监视到的邻接小区 的信号变化信息, 该信号变化信息包括邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线 信号接收质量在所述监视时段内的变化范围。 具体的, 邻接小区的信号变化 信息例如可以是在监视时段内监视到的该邻接小区的无线信号接收强度或无 线信号接收质量的最大值与最小值的差值, 即可以是无线信号接收强度的最 大值与最小值的差值, 或者可以是无线信号接收质量的最大值与最小值的差 值。 或者, 邻接小区的信号变化信息例如可以是在监视时段内监视到的该邻 接小区的无线信号接收强度或无线信号接收质量的最大值和最小值, 即可以 是邻接小区的无线信号接收强度的最大值和最小值, 或者是邻接小区的无线 信号接收质量的最大值和最小值。
进一歩, 基站在接收到 UE上报的测量报告之后, 还可以根据测量报告中 所述邻接小区的信号变化信息, 对 UE进行移动性管理。 例如, 如果测量报告 携带的信号变化信息表明触发该测量报告的邻接小区的信号变化小于一定的 值, 则认为 UE移动速度较慢或不移动, 于是基站控制 UE进行小区切换或增 加触发该测量报告的小区作为 SCel l等,否则基站不控制 UE进行小区切换或 增加 SCel l。 也就是说, 在本实施例中, 所述基站根据所述测量报告携带的 信号变化信息, 确定所述 UE是否向所述邻接小区进行切换。
由上述可见, 在本实施例中, 基站在向 UE发送的测量配置信息中增加信 号变化监视指示信息,指示 UE在指定的监视时段内对邻接小区的信号变化进 行监视, 并在邻接小区满足测量配置信息中的报告触发条件时, 将监视到的 信号变化信息携带在测量报告中进行上报, 基站根据测量报告携带的信号变 化信息对 UE进行移动性管理, 可以解决现有技术存在的 UE处于中、 高速移 动等场景下频繁进行小区切换的问题,有利于减少基站基于测量报告对 UE进 行移动性管理过程中造成的不必要的切换, 有利于节约网络资源, 减少造成 的业务中断, 从而提高用户体验。
