A kind of method of reduction E-CID positioning time delays and signaling consumption
Technical field
The present invention relates to moving communicating field.In particular it relates to a kind of 3GPP long evolving systems (LTE,
Long Term Evolution) in mobile phone carry out E-CID (Enhanced Cell-ID positioning method,
The Cell ID positioning method of enhancing) positioning when, reduce positioning time delay and signaling consumption method.
Background technology
CID positioning methods are R8 location requirements, and the E-CID localization methods of its enhancement method occurs in R9.It is simple below
CID localization methods are introduced, base station is receiving MME (Mobility Management Entity, mobile management entity) hairs
After the Location Report Control (starting reporting position comprising instruction) sent, the CGI and TAI of reporting subdistrict, and examine
Whether the serving cell for surveying UE changes.If UE is switched between the different districts in same base station or rebuilds behavior
When, base station needs to send Location Report to MME, reports its new cell information, receives MME and sends Location
Report Control instruction stop positions report.E-CID localization methods are mainly by obtaining cell residing for UE, AOA, Timing
The physical bit of one or more of information combination cells such as Advance Type1, Timing Advance Type2, RSRP and RSRQ
Put, substantially estimate UE position, this positional precision is than relatively low, at 100 meters or so.E-CID positioning instructions are by location-server
E-CID measurement initial request messages (E-CID MEASUREMENT INITIATION REQUEST) and E-CID measurements are terminated
Command messages (MEASUREMENT TERMINATION COMMAND) signaling is packaged into LPPa PDU, is issued through MME by S1AP
To base station.Base station positions the E-CID measurements of instruction implementing result for E-CID and terminates command messages (E-CID MEASUREMENT
INITIATION RESPONSE) or initial failed message (the E-CID MEASUREMENT INITIATION of E-CID measurements
FAILURE LPPa PDU) are packaged into, MME are uploaded to by S1AP, MME is transmitted to location-server.Base station starts for corresponding UE
E-CID is accordingly after measurement, when needing corresponding measurement result and reporting location-server, by report measurement results E-CID
MEASUREMENT REPORT are packaged into LPPa PDU, pass through S1AP message UPLINK UE ASSOCIATED LPPA
TRANSPORT is uploaded to MME, and MME is transmitted to location-server.Receive the E-CID MEASUREMENT that E-SMLC is sent
After TERMINATION COMMAND orders, base station stops E-CID measurements and reported, and E-CID positioning flows terminate.
The present invention proposes a kind of simple method, for that, if when initiating UE E-CID positioning, can have in handoff scenario
Reduce positioning time delay and signal resource in effect ground.
The content of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention:
Problem to be solved by this invention is the UE for switching, if to carry out E-CID to it, which kind of is taken
Scheme ensures that switching flow and positioning flow can smoothly complete, and reduces the time delay and signal resource of two flows as far as possible;
The present invention pays close attention to the switching based on X2 interface and S1 interfaces between base station in LTE system;
Technical scheme is used by solving the technical problem:
For the X2 switchings and S1 switchings between base station, E-CID measurement configuration informations are carried in handover request message, in mesh
After the completion of marking base station switching, the E-CID measurement configuration informations to be come according to source base station band continue to complete the positioning flow to UE;
Its specific step is:
1) E-SMLC (Evolved Serving Mobile Location Centre, in the service running fix of evolution
The heart) to source base station send E-CID measurement initial request message (E-CID MEASUREMENT INITIATION REQUEST);
2) after source base station receives E-CID measurement initial request messages, measurement configuration parameter is preserved to UE contexts;
3) source base station issues RRC to UE according to parameter request and matches somebody with somebody request message again
(RRCConnectionReconfiguration) E-CID measurement configurations, are contained in the message;
4) the backward source base station reply RRC of UE configurations completion matches somebody with somebody completion message again
(RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete);
5) source base station receives RRC again with after completion message, replys E-CID to E-SMLC and successfully measures initial request response
Message (E-CID MEASUREMENT INITIATION RESPONSE);
6) UE measures according to the measurement of base station configuration, then to source base station reporting measurement reports
(MeasurementReport);
7) switch decision that source base station is made according to measurement report and algorithm is needs to initiate X2 switchings, then to purpose base
Stand and send X2 handover requests message (X2AP HANDOVER REQUEST), UE is carried out comprising what source base station received in the message
The configuration parameter of E-CID measurements;
8) after target BS receives X2AP handover request message, if receiving this handover request, preserve in message
E-CID measurements are configured in newly-generated UE contexts;
9) specific X2 switching flows are continued, X2 switching flow details is not described;
10) UE is switched to after the completion of purpose base station, can be sent RRC to purpose base station and be matched somebody with somebody completion message again
(RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete);
11) RRC reallocation messages (RRCConnectionReconfiguration) are initiated in purpose base station to UE, are wrapped in message
The E-CID measurement configuration parameters being stored in UE contexts are contained;
12) the backward purpose base station of UE measurements configuration completion reports RRC to match somebody with somebody completion message again
(RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete);
13) UE according to measurement configuration requirement to purpose base station reporting measurement reports (MeasurementReport);
14) after base station receives UE measurement report, E-CID measurement reports (E-CID MEASUREMENT are sent to E-SMLC
REPORT);
If 15) the 6) step occur before the 3) step, the 3) and the 4) step need not perform, the mesh in the 12) step
Base station receive RRC again match somebody with somebody completion message (RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete) after, supplement to E-
SMLC replys E-CID and successfully measures initial request response message (E-CID MEASUREMENT INITIATION
RESPONSE)。
In the step 7), the UE for have received E-CID measurement initial requests, if the UE will be switched to other bases
Stand, then E-CID measurement configuration informations are carried in handover request message, so after UE is switched to target BS, E-SMLC
E-CID measurement configurations need not be issued to UE again, so reduce signal resource.
In the step 8), it have received after handover request message, it is necessary to preserve E-CID measurement reports to UE contexts.
In the step 11), after the completion of UE is switched to target BS, if the UE needs to initiate E-CID measurement configurations,
E-CID measurement configurations then are issued to UE, and need to reply E-CID initial measurements to E-SMLC according to concrete scene and respond to disappear
Cease, had the advantage that in this step, it is not necessary to when E-SMLC issues E-CID measurement configurations, it is only necessary to which handover request is disappeared
The measurement configuration distributing carried in breath is to UE.
In the step 14), for the UE of switching completion, if having received the E-CID measurement reports that UE is reported, need
Pass through E-SMLC.
The UE switched for needs, due to need not be interacted with E-SMLC, so just reduce positioning time delay and signaling
Resource.
The 7) in step, if the switch decision that source base station is made is S1 switchings, then until X2 switching flows in the 9) step
All it is substituted for S1 switching flows.
The technological merit of the present invention:
1) in step 7) as described above, the advantage is that, the UE for have received E-CID measurement initial requests, such as
The fruit UE will be switched to other base stations, then E-CID measurement configuration informations are carried in handover request message, so when UE is cut
After changing to target BS, E-SMLC need not issue E-CID measurement configurations to UE again, so reduce signal resource;
2) it in step 8) as described above, the advantage is that, have received after handover request message, it is necessary to preserve E-CID
Measurement report is to UE contexts;
3) in step 11) as described above, it is characterised in that after the completion of UE is switched to target BS, if the UE
Need to initiate E-CID measurement configurations, then issue E-CID measurement configurations to UE, and need to be returned to E-SMLC according to concrete scene
E-CID initial measurement response messages are answered, are had the advantage that in this step, it is not necessary to match somebody with somebody when E-SMLC issues E-CID measurements
Put, it is only necessary to by the measurement configuration distributing carried in handover request message to UE;
4) in step 14) as described above, it is characterised in that the UE completed for switching, reported if having received UE
E-CID measurement reports, then need to pass through E-SMLC;
Compared with prior art, the UE that the present invention switches for needs, due to need not be interacted with E-SMLC, so
Time delay and signal resource can be positioned to reduce.
