As shown in Figure 7, under this application scenarios, the method for measurement of the multicarrier system proposing in the embodiment of the present invention two comprises the following steps:
Step 701, base station sends RRC to UE and connects reconfiguration message.Wherein, in the embodiment of the present invention for convenience of description take base station as example describes, and in practical application, the sending entity that RRC connects reconfiguration message is the equipment that is positioned at network side, network equipment includes but not limited to E-UTRAN, RNC (Radio Network Controller, radio network controller), NB (Node B, Node B), eNB (evolved Node B, enode b), relaying Relay, base station etc., it should be noted that, this network equipment is not limited to the said equipment, all equipment that is positioned at network side is all within protection range of the present invention.
Concrete, due to UE polymerization at present 1 Xia community 1 (CC1), base station and community 2 (CC2), carry out CA transmission,, in this step, configuration will be measured to UE by RRC signaling in base station 1.
In practical application, this RRC connects the content of carrying in reconfiguration message and includes but not limited to one or the combination in any in following content.
A) measuring object (measurement object): take frequency as base unit, each measuring object being configured is an independent frequency, have independent measuring object mark (ID), can indication carrier wave frequency in measuring object, adjacent cell black and white lists, need to report the contents such as CGI community.
B) report configuration (report configuration): be divided into Event triggered and report with the cycle and trigger and report according to triggering type, eachly report configuration to have an independent ID.Wherein, the reporting configuration by the threshold value of the some events of dispensing and meet the information such as duration (Time to Trigger) of trigger condition of Event triggered type, and periodic triggers type report configuration for example, by the object of dispensing periodic triggers (, reporting CGI) etc.In addition, this reports configuration can also comprise triggering measuring amount, and reporting measurement amount reports the information such as interval, number of times.

Concrete, above-mentioned measuring object, measurement identify and report the related content in configuration all can select according to actual needs, and under this application scenarios, the frequency f1 at 1 place, Yi Jiang community is as independent measuring object, and distribute and measure mark 1, association reports configuration 1; Using the frequency f2 at 2 places, community as independent measuring object, and distribute and measure mark 2, association reports configuration 1; Using the frequency f4 at 8 places, frequency f3He community at 7 places, community as a measuring object (or using community 7 and community 8 as a measuring object), and distribute and measure mark 3, association reports configuration 2, and one is as shown in Figure 8 measured configuring condition.Certainly, just specifically apply as the one in alien frequencies situation community 7 and community 8, in practical application, can also be to processing accordingly with community 5 and community 6 in frequency situation, the processing procedure of this processing procedure and community 7 and community 8 is similar, and the disposition of embodiment of the present invention Zhong Yi community 7 and community 8 is that example describes.
Further it should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, be not limited to and use this RRC to connect reconfiguration message, can also realize by other message the method for measurement of the multicarrier system proposing in the embodiment of the present invention; For example, the message A that can also expand by use realizes the present invention, can in the message A of this expansion, carry above-mentioned measuring object, reports configuration, measure the information such as mark, then can realize equally the present invention, in following steps, repeats no longer in detail.In the embodiment of the present invention to realize the embodiment of the present invention and describe as example by using RRC to connect reconfiguration message.
Step 702, UE connects reconfiguration message according to this RRC measuring object is measured to assessment, wherein, the measuring amount of this measurement assessment can be RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power, Reference Signal Received Power), and/or, RSRQ (Reference Signal Received Quality, Reference Signal Received Quality), and/or channel quality indicator (CQI).And if use when CQI, RRC connects in reallocation message and will carry concrete CQI measurement configuration information.
Concrete, in the time that UE has configured multiple measuring object, in this step, need to judge whether multiple measuring objects meet the condition reporting that triggers; And/or, in the time that UE has configured multiple member carrier, in this step, need to judge whether multiple member carriers meet the condition reporting that triggers.In the embodiment of the present invention, measurement has reported three kinds of triggering modes, be respectively: Event triggered reports, cycle triggering reports and Event triggered periodic report, and the combination that reports the various parameters in configuration that above-mentioned three kinds of triggering modes can connect in reconfiguration message according to RRC is distinguished.Wherein, Event triggered type report configuration by the threshold value of the some events of dispensing and meet trigger condition duration (etc. information, and reporting of periodic triggers type for example configures, by information such as the objects of dispensing periodic triggers (, reporting CGI).
Further, judge the condition that the whether satisfied triggering of multiple measuring objects reports and/or judge that the whether satisfied process that triggers the condition reporting of multiple member carriers comprises: (a) measure and assess, be that UE passes through to measure, search out the satisfied carrier wave that reports configuration in certain measuring object and/or certain member carrier, and assess, in the time that carrier wave all meets entry criteria within a certain period of time, will be comprised in report list; Once have new carrier wave to enter report list, will trigger the process that reports.(b) tissue reports, and fills in the process of measuring reporting message, need to fill in and measure mark, this cell measurement information, measurement information in neighbor cell.Wherein, the procurement process of measurement information in neighbor cell is that quality-ordered is carried out to according to given reporting measurement amount in configuration in the community comprising in the report list of measuring in assessment, and inserts measurement reporting message by order from high in the end.
In this step, after meeting measuring condition, UE will start that { measuring amount of this measurement assessment is RSRP and/or RSRQ for f3, the measurement assessment of f4}, in the process embodiment of the present invention of this measurement assessment, repeats no longer in detail to measuring mark 3 corresponding measuring objects.

Step 904, base station receives after this measurement reporting message, and according to predefined handoff algorithms, judgement UECong community 1 and community 2 are switched to community 7 and community 8.
The embodiment of the present invention four has proposed a kind of method of measurement of multicarrier system, continue to describe as an example of the application scenarios shown in Fig. 6 example, it is You Sige community, 1 time, base station, be respectively community 1, community 2, community 3 and community 4, also You Sige community, base station 2 times, is respectively community 5, community 6, community 7 and community 8, community 1 and community 5 are in frequency f 1, community 2 and community 6 are in frequency f 2, and community 3 and community 7 are in frequency f 3, and community 4 and community 8 are in frequency f 4.The ability of UE is only to support two carrier waves of polymerization simultaneously, and carry out CA transmission, and at present UE polymerization 1 Xia community 1 (CC1), base station and community 2 (CC2), carry out CA transmission, in the embodiment of the present invention, be comparison for the measuring amount situation based on multicarrier.
As shown in figure 11, under this application scenarios, the method for measurement of the multicarrier system proposing in the embodiment of the present invention four comprises the following steps:
Step 1101, base station sends RRC to UE and connects reconfiguration message.Wherein, due to UE polymerization 1 Xia community 1 (CC1), base station and community 2 (CC2), carry out CA transmission,, in this step, configuration will be measured to UE by RRC signaling in base station 1.
Under this application scenarios, measure configuring condition as shown in Figure 8, the frequency f1 at 1 place, Ji Yijiang community is as independent measuring object, and distribution measurement mark 1, and association reports configuration 1; Using the frequency f2 at 2 places, community as independent measuring object, and distribute and measure mark 2, association reports configuration 1; Using the frequency f4 at 8 places, frequency f3He community at 7 places, community as a measuring object (or using community 7 and community 8 as a measuring object), and distribute and measure mark 3, association reports configuration 2.
Step 1102, UE measures reporting message by one the result of measuring assessment is reported to base station.
Concrete, suppose that reporting the measurement event of configuration 2 is A3 (being adjacent cell channel quality > Serving cell channel quality), measuring amount is RSRP, UE is carrying out { community 7, community 8} and { community 1, when the channel quality of community 2} compares, wide-band width measurement result based on multicarrier associating is compared, for example, the bandwidth of above-mentioned Si Ge community is 20MHz, UE needs { community 7, community 8} and { community 1, community 2} is as two entirety, and overall bandwidth (two overall measurement results are 40MHz) is compared.
Further, if community 7, the channel quality of community 8} entirety would be greater than { community 1, the channel quality of community 2} entirety, be adjacent cell channel quality > Serving cell channel quality, and meet the trigger condition that reports of A3 event, UE starts the process that reports.In the embodiment of the present invention, this reports process to be specially UE, by a measurement reporting message, the result of measuring assessment is reported to base station, in reported result, can carry { community 7, the measuring amount of community 8} entirety and/or in { community 1, the measuring amount of community 2} entirety.
It should be noted that, the method of above-mentioned acquisition 40MHz wide-band width measurement result, can be that the entirety of directly carrying out 40MHz is measured, also can be respectively 20MHz to be measured, then (for example adopt default algorithm, Weighted Average Algorithm etc.), comprehensively, after the result of the two, obtain the measurement result of 40MHz.Certainly, in actual applications, the method for this acquisition 40MHz wide-band width measurement result is not limited to Weighted Average Algorithm etc., can also select according to the actual needs other algorithm, in the embodiment of the present invention, repeats no more.For example, in the time using Weighted Average Algorithm to obtain measurement result, because the bandwidth of Si Ge community is 20MHz, { community 7, the measurement result that community 8} is corresponding is (measuring amount of the measuring amount+community 8 of community 7)/2, { community 1, the measurement result that community 2} is corresponding is (measuring amount of the measuring amount+community 2 of community 1)/2.In the time selecting other algorithm, processing procedure is similar, in the embodiment of the present invention, repeats no more.
