Embodiment
Run through accompanying drawing, identical reference character will be used for corresponding or similar key element.
In the radio circuit with at least one inactive community, community activation is controlled as embodiment disclosed herein relates to.
In current cellular radio, radio base station continues the signal transmitting some form in their respective cell.The example of this type of signal is pilot signal, such as reference and/or synchronizing signal and broadcast channel.These signals are used to many objects, comprising:
Mobility Cell searching: subscriber equipment regularly scans neighbor cell.The synchronizing signal transmitted in neighbor cell is used to search and be synchronized to potential neighbour.Active user equipment is typically to the signal strength signal intensity of network-reporting neighbor cell, and this makes the decision whether subscriber equipment should be switched to candidate cell.
Search of initial zone: subscriber equipment is attempted to search the potential community that will be connected to by scanning synchronizing signal when powering on.Once find community and obtain synchronous, the broadcast channel transmitted in subscriber equipment reading community and pilot signal are to obtain necessary system information and usually to perform Stochastic accessing to be connected to network.
Data receiver: active user equipment needs typically to perform channel estimating based on pilot reference signal, to receive transmitted data.Pilot reference signal also may be used for estimation and the report of downlink channel quality, to support the radio base station function of the scheduling that such as channel is correlated with.
Subscriber equipment is synchronous: Idle subscriber devices needs synchronizing signal and/or reference signal can keep synchronous with network, namely once (non-continuous receives: DiscontinuousReception) circulation is waken up, and these signals are used to finely tune sequential and frequency errors etc. from paging DRX.
When there is any active ues in community, the cost transmitting above-mentioned signal is rational.But, when there is not any active ues in community, there are not the needs to these signals in principle.This is especially in the situation with community dense deployment, is namely correct when Microcell is placed under macrocell (macrocell).In this type of situation, Microcell is mainly used to deal with high load capacity situation, and spends in the energy transmitted these signals from Microcell in underload situation and be wasted in fact.
When there is not active user equipment in community, or the quantity of at least active user equipment is considerably less, does not need in principle to transmit anything.This allows radio base station to close power amplifier, wide-band processing and transfer equipment.Become in fact in the downlink " free time " by the community of management of radio base station.This type of community is referred to as inactive community in this article, but also can use alternative term, such as dormant cell or inactive community.Statement " inactive community " therefore also comprises the statement of such as idle, dormancy or inactive community.
As defined herein, inactive community is the community of radio circuit, and its corresponding radio base station is current not for the information of any cell definitions is transmitted in community.The information of cell definitions is particularly including the information helping subscriber equipment to search community.It can also comprise subscriber equipment requirement for identify and actual lock in the information of community.The information of cell definitions typically comprises the information of being carried by above-mentioned pilot signal (such as reference signal and/or synchronizing signal) traditionally, and the information of being carried by broadcast channel in addition alternatively.In a concrete example embodiment, the information of cell definitions comprises at least synchronous signal information.
But, even if note radio base station not for the information of any cell definitions is transmitted in inactive community, radio base station still can make its receiver open and therefore can receive the data such as transmitted by subscriber equipment alternatively, even if one or more conveyers of inactive community are cut out.
For object of the present disclosure, one or more community is served in assumed wireless electricity base station in radio circuit.Therefore, " radio base station " also refers to entity more recently, all if process NodeB and eNodeB (NodeB of evolution) of more than one community, and the network node of other correspondences, such as base transceiver station (BTS) and base station (BS).In addition, statement " base station " can also comprise wireless network node, such as repeater, transponder and have the Home eNodeB of corresponding geographic service area (i.e. community).
Similarly, " subscriber equipment " will be used to refer to dissimilar radio terminal, such as have the functional mobile station, mobile subscriber equipment, laptop computer etc. that carry out radio communication with the radio base station in radio circuit.
Fig. 1 is flow chart, and the method for the activation controlling at least one community is shown in radio circuit.Radio circuit comprises at least one active cell, namely there is the associated radio base stations of the information transmitting cell definitions for active cell, and at least one inactive community, namely have current not for the associated radio base stations of the information of any cell definitions is transmitted in inactive community.
In the example of fig. 1, by asking the current signal strength measurement do not transmitted for inactive community in the region of at least one other community sluggish of the radio base station of the information of any cell definitions, the method starts in step sl.Based on the information of received expression institute request signal ionization meter, at least one inactive community is selected for activation in step s 2.Then the information by making administrative institute select the corresponding radio base station of community to start to transmit cell definitions searches community to help subscriber equipment, asks selected community to be activated in step s3.
In this way, the present invention allows community to keep inactive to reduce power consumption as far as possible longly, and allows inactive community to be activated when gratifying communication service guaranteed by needs for user.
Fig. 2 is the flow chart according to another example embodiment, and the method that controlled community is activated is shown.In this instance, the downlink measurement of the information of cell definitions that receives from least one radio base station of the radio access network (RAN) of another overlap of the requested execution of subscriber equipment report in step s 11.In step s 12 based on the radio access network of reported overlap downlink measurement and select at least one other community sluggish for activate.Then by making administrative institute select the corresponding radio base station of community to start the information of the cell definitions required by transmission, selected community is asked to be activated in step s 13.
In an exemplary embodiment, active cell associates with the first radio access technologies with other communities one or more sluggish that wherein at least one community will be activated, and the radio access network of overlap associates with the second different radio access technologies.Exemplarily, the first radio access technologies can be Long Term Evolution (LTE), and the second radio access technologies can be one of GSM, CDMA2000, TDSCDMA and WCDMA.
But the radio access network of overlap has identical underlying Radio access technology is also possible.Exemplarily, the first radio access network can based on the given radio access technologies operated at first frequency, and the radio access network of the second overlap can based on identical but at the radio access technologies of the second different frequency operation.LTE 700MHz and LTE 2600Hz is comprised in the example of the heterogeneous networks of the same basic technology of different frequency range operation.
Fig. 3 is the flow chart according to another example embodiment also had, and the method that controlled community is activated is shown.In this instance, the one or more radio base stations managing corresponding other communities inactive are the uplink measurement that transmits of requested execution reporting user facility in the step s 21.In step S22, based on the uplink measurement that reported subscriber equipment transmits, at least one other community sluggish is selected for activation.Then by making administrative institute select the corresponding radio base station of community to start the information of the cell definitions required by transmission, in step S23, selected community is asked to be activated.
As will be explained in more detail after a while, if expected, when other the inactive communities selecting which (which) to activate, the downlink measurement transmitted in other one or more active communities of being reported by subscriber equipment also may be used.Usually, demonstration program is above triggered by the needs current subscriber equipment of being served by the active cell of serving radio base station being switched to new Target cell.Once selected community is activated, then it can be used as Target cell.
In order to better understanding, now wherein can the example of various network environments of Application Example by schematically describing.
Fig. 4 is the synoptic chart of a part for radio circuit according to an example embodiment.In this instance, radio base station 10 manages active cell 15 and is therefore the information that active cell 15 transmits cell definitions.The geographic area of community 15 contains one or more (being three in the example of fig. 4) other communities 25,35,45 with smaller geographic area at least in part.Active cell 15 is typically referred to as macrocell in the art, and less community 25,35,45 can be such as Microcell or picocell (pico cell).
In one embodiment, Microcell 25,35,45 current be sluggish, mean their corresponding radio base station 20,30,40 current for the information of any cell definitions is transmitted in community 25,35,45.Inactive community 25,35,45 therefore in the region being present in inactive community 25,35,45 or close to inactive community 25,35,45 subscriber equipment 100 for be sightless.
If the radio base station 20,30,40 of such as inactive community 25,35,45 by planning be used for can not by or not by the specific service that the radio base station 10 of active cell 15 processes well enough, then this situation is favourable.One typical example can be that it is active that broadband access technology only just needs when requiring the service of wide bandwidth to be required when inactive community 25,35,45 and their radio base station 20,30,40 are planned as broadband access technology.If do not need this type of wide bandwidth service, then the access technology that business changes the overlap provided by radio base station 10 and active cell 15 thereof into is served.In this case, active cell 15 and radio base station 10 can have given radio access technologies, such as global system for mobile communications (GSM), Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) (wCDMA), CDMA 2000 (CDMA2000) or time division synchronous CDMA (TDSCDMA), and inactive community 25,35,45 and their radio base station 20,30,40 can be the another kind of radio access technologies that can process wide bandwidth service, such as Long Term Evolution (LTE).
Another possible situation can be, inactive community 25,35,45 only increases so many to the needs of radio communication services so that just activate when the traffic load in macrocell 15 becomes excessive for radio base station 10 and can not effectively process in macrocell 15.In such cases, at least one that can change into by the radio base station 20,30,40 for inactive community 25,35,45 of some business processes, and thus these inactive communities need to be activated.
Fig. 5 illustrates another embodiment of radio circuit, wherein can realize controlled community and activate.In this instance, radio circuit 1 comprises at least one active cell 15 with radio base station 10, and described radio base station 10 manages community 15 and transmits the information being applicable to the cell definitions of active cell 15.Active cell 15 has the inactive neighbor cell 25,35 of one or more (being two in the example of hgure 5), and its radio base station 20,30 has (silent) conveyer so there is no as the information of any cell definitions is transmitted in corresponding inactive community 25,35 of mourning in silence.
For subscriber equipment 100, transmit the radio base station 10 of radio base station 10 current service typically.Subscriber equipment 100 may be advanced the geographic area away from radio base station 10 and towards one of current inactive community 25,35.Because community 25,35 is sluggish and their radio base station 25,35 does not transmit the information of any cell definitions, so subscriber equipment 100 can not find community and therefore not perform any signal strength measurement for inactive community 25,35.By using any one in above-mentioned demonstration program, the activation controlling this type of community in radio circuit is possible.Once one or more inactive community 25,35 is activated, traditional up link and downlink signal strength are measured and also can as usual be performed, and candidate cell 25,35 can subsequently (if desired) assessed further in order to the object of potential switching.
Therefore other communities sluggish can be such as the neighbor cells of active cell, usually have between neighbor cell and partly overlap.When macrocell-microcell environment, other communities sluggish can be included in the Microcell in the region of active macrocell.In principle, furthermore it is possible that Microcell is active and macrocell that is that contain more greatly is sluggish.
Should also be appreciated that radio base station (such as aforesaid NodeB and eNodeB) can serve multiple (namely at least two) community, one of them or more the subset of community can be sluggish and another subset can be active.
Fig. 6 is the synoptic chart of the radio communications system according to another example embodiment also had.In this instance, radio communications system is LTE radio circuit 1.LTE radio access network (RAN) generally has a fundamental node type, eNodeB 10,20.Each eN0deB 10,20 is responsible for the set of one or more community 15,25.The community 15,25 of eNodeB 10,20 does not need use identical antenna sites (antenna site) and can have dedicated antenna website separately.
In the example of fig. 6, eNodeB 10,20 is responsible for many functional usually, comprises single cell radio resource management (RRM) decision, switching determines, the scheduling of subscriber equipment in its community in up link and both downlink.
In radio circuit 1, any eNodeB 10 is connected with other eNodeB 20 any by X2 interface.This X2 interface is mainly used to support active mode mobility (active-mode mobility), but also may be used for multiple cell RRM function.Another interface and S1 interface, be connected to core net 60 by eNodeB 10,20.
The block core (EPC) that the core network 60 of LTE is often referred to as evolution is basic evolution from GSM/ general packet radio service (GPRS) core network to indicate it.EPC is developed to single node framework, there is its functions all in a node, except home subscriber servers (HSS) (not shown), that comprises the authorized database or the node that use the details of each subscriber equipment subscriber of LTE core network network.EPC is connected to LTE RAN via above-mentioned S1 interface, is connected to internet (not shown) via SGi interface, and uses S6 interface to be connected to HSS (not shown).
Fig. 7 is the synoptic chart of the radio communications system according to another example embodiment.In this instance, radio communications system is WCDMA/ high-speed packet access (HSPA) radio circuit 1.WCDMA/HSPA radio circuit (RAN) generally has two basic logic node types: radio network controller (RNC) 55A, 55B and be connected to the node NodeB 10,20 of antenna or the radio base station (RBS) of community 15,25.
RBS/NodeB 10,20 is the one or more process of aggregation transmission of community 15,25 and the logical node of reception.In logic, the antenna of community 15,25 belongs to NodeB 10,20, but they need not be positioned at identical antenna sites.NodeB 10,20 has its hardware but the radio resource of Bu Shiqi community 15,25, and this RNC55A, 55B be connected to by NodeB 10,20 has.Use Iub interface to realize this RNC-NodeB to connect.
In radio circuit 1, each RNC 55A can be connected to other RNC 55B each via Iur interface.Therefore, Iur interface is network range (network wide) interface, makes likely keep a RNC 55A as anchor point (anchor point) for subscriber equipment 100 and hide mobility to core network 60.
RNC 55A, 55B are the nodes via Iu interface, radio access network being connected to core network 60.For WCDMA/HSPA, therefore core network 60 also comprises Liang Gexiang foreign lands based on GSM core network usually; There is circuit switching (CS) territory of mobile switching centre (MSC) (not shown), and there is packet switching (PS) territory of Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) (not shown) and Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) (not shown).To two territories common be attaching position register (HLR).
In the ps domain, SGSN is connected to GGSN via Gn or gp interface, and GGSN has its Gi interface of the extenal grouped network of such as internet of going out.
Demonstration program above stating together with Fig. 1-3 can be the execution in the network element associated with radio circuit and realizes.This can be serving radio base station (RBS) in such as radio circuit or radio network controller (RNC).
When down link (DL) is measured, relevant subscriber equipment measurement DL signal strength signal intensity also reports that then get back to relevant service RBS or association RNC, relevant service RBS or association RNC selects the inactive Target cell be applicable to for activation.
When up link (UL) is measured, the relevant RBS of the corresponding inactive community of each management measures UL signal strength signal intensity and relevant service RBS or association RNC is got back in report.Preferably, relevant network element is that each of other communities multiple receives from the corresponding radio base station be responsible for for other communities described and represents that community is inactive or active information.
Several different radio base station that makes is had to be the method that specific community starts to transmit the information of cell definitions.Illustrated examples comprises the signal being sent community activation command by the RBS-RBS interface of such as X2 interface or the RNC-RBS interface of such as Iub interface.Another illustrated examples also had comprises and sends the Stochastic accessing (RA) of subscriber equipment from serving radio base station to selected community and enable the signal of information, and asks subscriber equipment Stochastic accessing (RA) to be sent to the corresponding radio base station of the community that administrative institute is selected to trigger the activation of selected community.
As noted earlier, embodiment can also be applied to the radio circuit having multiple different radio access network (RAN) and have different radio access technologies (RAT) alternatively.
Below, various example embodiment is described in more detail for Primary Reference LTE and gsm communication system.But the present invention is not limited thereto.
In LTE communication system, such as, can require that the quantity making to open to process the ambulant LTE community of UE minimizes.Service RBS determines that selective activation is carried out in one or more reasonably (plausible) Target cell that seems, and only opens them.This will minimize or at least reduce power consumption.
In a concrete example embodiment, the service RBS (can be the RNC in different system) in LTE system carries out measurement to determine seeming rational Target cell by making UE to the radio access network (RAN) of overlap and/or the pilot tone of radio access technologies (RAT).Such as, UE can be required to perform measurement to GSM BCCH, and based on which GSM base station is heard and selects to open one or more LTE community.
Although GSM is pointed out by the RAT as overlap in this example and other examples, should be appreciated that overlapping RAN/RAT can be any cellular system, comprise GSM, WCDMA, CDMA2000, TDSCDMA or even another LTE system.Most of regions having spread out LTE have the covering of at least one other radio access technologies (RAT) of such as GSM, CDMA2000, TDSCDMA or WCDMA.
To LTE, for every other 3GPP RAT, the signal strength signal intensity usually by making UE measure the pilot tone transmitted in the peripheral cell received manages mobility.Measurement result is sent to service RBS, and service RBS explains them and determines whether that another community better and whether should be triggered to the switching of this community.
LTE RBS can require that UE measures GSM.This is included in a standard to support to be switched to GSM when leaving LTE overlay area.Typically, the initial deployment of LTE will not have good covering same with GSM.
The situation of co-sited point
It is the website recycling GSM that one of LTE may dispose, and such as on GSM website, adjacent GSM RBS places LTE RBS.In addition, due to the reason of outward appearance with due to wind load, feeder line and antenna element can re-use.Fig. 8 illustrates this type of example.
Fig. 8 is the schematic diagram according to an example embodiment, and the co-sited point of the radio base station of different radio access networks (RAN) and/or different radio access technologies (RAT) is shown.Fig. 8 illustrates that the community of co-sited point represents, has the more detailed view of radio base station (RBS) 210,220 in the typical physical website 200 of shared feeder cable and antenna and website 200 and duplexer filter 230 and fan antenna (sector antenna) 240.Radio base station 210,220 can have different radio access technologies (RAT), typically operates on different frequency bands and has the duplexer filter for shared feeder line.The antenna element 240 of association typically holds two diversity antennas, each band diversity antenna.Alternative, radio base station has identical RAT, but belongs to different radio access networks in a word.Certainly, also there are other co-sited point solutions that tool is with or without shared equipment.Community is actually overlapping usually.
Fig. 9 is schematic diagram, and the example of the shared plot planning between different radio access networks (RAN) and/or different radio access technologies (RAT) is shown.Such as, a RAT of such as LTE plot planning can with solid arrow instruction and the plot planning of the 2nd RAT of such as GSM can indicate with dotted arrow.This can be such as the result of co-sited point as shown in Figure 8.
With reference to figure 9, suppose that LTE RBS A is the service RBS of UE 100, and the community supposing the LTE RBS in B and C is sluggish.
When UE 100 shifts out the overlay area of service RBS A, UE is apprised of the signal strength signal intensity in the community of the GSM RBS measuring B and C place.Signal strength measurement is performed by UE 100 and reports gets back to service RBS A.
Exemplarily, then service RBS A calculates the path loss from RBS B and RBS C, and determines which is preferred handover candidate based on these calculating.Service RBS A sends a message to selected RBS (B or C) to open its relevant community, and starts to transmit the information of the cell definitions of such as pilot tone and/or synchronizing signal.For LTE, this type of control signal can use X2 interface to send.
Preferably, the knowledge of the pilot carrier frequency of RBS that will have about other RAT on B and C of LTE RBS A.This information that can be static configuration or be supplied by other RAT (such as being inquired the GSM RBS of co-sited point by LTERBS via website local control interface).Then this information can use X2 interface to exchange between LTE RBS.
It should be noted that, can be detected by common mobile process by UE in the community of transmitting pilot signal: DL pilot tone and synchronizing channel are measured and correspondingly takes action.Be to be further noted that the initiation determining to seem rational Target cell is typically triggered by the necessity switching UE, such as, due to the overload in Serving cell or poor radio path.
Ordinary circumstance
When LTE dispose expansion time, not every LTE RBS all will with GSM RBS co-sited point.
The example of more ordinary circumstance is summarized now with reference to Figure 10 A, B.
Figure 10 A is schematic diagram, illustrates that the radio base station of wherein different radio access networks (RAN) and/or different radio access technologies (RAT) is not the example of the plot planning of co-sited point.Exemplarily, this can represent wherein LTE RBS not with the situation (being perhaps because another RAT belongs to another operator) of GSM RBS co-sited point.
Figure 10 B is the schematic diagram according to an example embodiment, and the example of partial common plot planning is shown.Exemplarily, this can represent that wherein the RBS (LTE-only RBS) of only LTE is placed on the situation in the middle of the website of the RBS with co-sited point.This can be owing to causing to LTE instead of to the needs of the more high power capacity of GSM in this region.
For more generally situation, LTE RBS needs the regional service knowing which positive Wei Yu GSM community, LTE community is identical.As to together with Fig. 9 describe before situation, UE is preferably required GSM executive signal ionization meter, but report can cause service RBS may select more than one LTE RBS.Such as, when Figure 10 B, RBS A can ask RBS C and RBS G to open their respective cell.
This is provided in the very effective method determining targeted radio base station in the situation with overlapping RAT.Because related cell is opened in time, user can not see any degradation in service.
In another concrete example embodiment, carry out up link (UL) by order to the UE transmission from possible Target cell selected works to measure, the service RBS (can be the RNC in different system) in LTE system can determine the one or more rational Target cell that seems.The RBS of each selection measures by the UL signal strength signal intensity of the one or more UE of service RBS process, and report measurement results (and depends on network type and design configurations to service RBS, also continue report alternatively to RNC), then it can estimate such as path loss and therefore determine that the RBS considered has as target RBS to be applicable to more.
As previously described, to LTE, as to every other 3GPP RAT, the signal strength signal intensity usually by making UE measure the pilot tone transmitted in the peripheral cell received manages mobility.The shortcoming that standardized method has is that all RBS need transmission signal to measure to allow UE to collect.In ensuing embodiment, that provide one to supplement or alternative solution is to assess neighbor cell, and this allows RBS to enter wherein does not have the information of the cell definitions of such as pilot tone and/or synchronizing signal by the low-power mode transmitted.Service RBS (or the RNC in different communication systems) identifies potential target RBS in inactive pattern or low-power mode to measure up link (UL) received signal strength for the UE needing to be switched to another RBS.
Figure 11 A is schematic diagram, and the simple examples of the plot planning for given radio access network/technology is shown.This can be such as usual LTE plot planning; The hexagonal cell planning with three RBS shown in Figure 11 A.
Figure 11 B is schematic diagram, and example expansion being had to the plot planning of the given radio access network/technology of multiple Microcell is shown.In this example, such as, in order to capacity strengthens, plot planning has been expanded multiple Microcell.
In the example of Figure 11 A-B, first UE 100 is served by RBS A.Each and the respective cell of other RBS can be unlocked or close (inactive/low-power mode).
Cell status information
According to standard solution, each LTE RBS know which RBS be present near (so-called adjacent R BS), and use so-called X2 interface backhaul (back-haul) upper to have with them directly contact.LTE RBS also knows which community is the neighbor cell of its oneself each community, and namely which community is that expection UE hears and can be switched to potentially.
The expansion herein advised based on each LTE RBS about community active/inactive pattern (namely whether transmitting the information of cell definitions) sends the signal of its cell status to adjacent R BS so that each LTE RBS know UE can listen what to and can not what be heard.
Relative path loss is estimated
In an exemplary embodiment, UE can be the signal power that those cell measurements of transmitting pilot tone receive, and sends measurement report to service RBS.This is according to standard, and provides the relative path loss between different RBS (comprise its oneself) to estimate to service RBS.
For not transmitting the community of pilot tone, service RBS (A) is preferably sending request the signal that corresponding RBS B-G (or its suitable subset) carries out UL signal strength measurement.Thus RBS B-G performs the corresponding measurement report of measure and transmit to service RBS A.
Typically, service RBS A also measures the signal strength signal intensity received from UE at its oneself receiver, and this and the measurement report that carrys out measurement RBS B-G is compared.This provides relative path loss difference.
Based on by the measurement in a closed series of measuring RBS B-G and also undertaken by UE alternatively, serve RBS and can determine which community is most suitable for serving UE.If (inactive/low-power mode) is closed in this community, then serve RBS and send request the signal of unlatching community to corresponding RBS.
The RBS of time synchronized
In most applications, RBS is time synchronized, and namely they share common time base.This can be such as that GPS starts the time.
UL measures
Service RBS request carries out UL measurement by another RBS.Such as, described request comprises with the time interval for measuring and frequency interval and measures the information effectively relevant to which community.
Because two RBS are locked in common time base, the measurement moment can represent with base time this.
Measure RBS and carry out signal power measurement.This measurement produces matrix, and wherein each value represents the average power of received signal to time and frequency interval, as appreciable in Figure 12.
At LTE medium frequency interval (FI) 1PRB frequency size, i.e. 180kHz typically.
The time interval (TI) is UL time slot, such as a 500us typically.
When system is time synchronized, minimum measurement report size can be realized.So the request of measurement only comprises a frequency and the time interval, such as, sometime to the measurement of 500us on a certain 180kHz interval.
Total Measuring Time is shorter, report will less and measure power consumption in RBS also can be less.
Request UL measures
When serving RBS and wanting to measure, it determines that it is suitable for UL transmission and dispatches time and the frequency interval at UE place.If it is interested for having the measurement that more than one UL performs, then UL measures and is preferably scheduled close to each other.
Then service RBS sends the request of measurement to measuring RBS.
Then service RBS performs UL scheduling by sending scheduling grant to UE.Then UE will transmit data.
The signal strength signal intensity received is stored.
Service RBS will receive measurement report from measurement RBS.Because measurement RBS is time synchronized, so can signal strength signal intensity that is direct and that oneself receive compare.
The RBS of time irreversibility
In some applications, RBS does not share common time base, or synchronous accuracy is too low.So measurement report and process will be slightly more complicated.
UL measures
Service RBS can ask to carry out UL measurement by another RBS.Such as, described request comprises with the time interval for measuring and frequency interval and measures the information effectively relevant to which community.
Because two RBS are not locked in common time reference, measure the moment preferably relative to asking the time of transmitting to represent.Will add extra uncertainty, this needs to process when explaining measurement report.
Measure RBS and carry out signal power measurement.This measurement produces matrix, and wherein each value represents the average power of received signal to preset time and frequency interval, as appreciable in Figure 12.
The same with the situation for time synchronized, at LTE medium frequency interval (FI) 1PRB frequency size, i.e. 180kHz typically.
The time interval (TI) is typically significantly less than UL time slot, such as a 10us.
Temporal overall measurement length is extended owing to not having synchronous RBS, because will add extra uncertainty, and the UL transmission that relevant UE is caught in measurement is important.
Request UL measures
When serving RBS and wanting to carry out UL measurement, it determines that it is suitable for UL transmission and dispatches time and the frequency interval at UE place.If it is interested for having the measurement that more than one UL performs, then UL measures and is preferably scheduled close to each other.
Then serve RBS and send the request of measurement to measuring RBS.Because measurement RBS is not time synchronized, surplus (margin) was added before and after UL scheduling instance, and report interval (TI) is established short.
Then service RBS performs UL scheduling by sending scheduling grant to UE.Then UE will transmit data.
The signal strength signal intensity received is stored, and its UE both with just measured is relevant, again with before and after time slot relevant.
Service RBS will receive measurement report from measurement RBS.
Because measurement RBS is not time synchronized, so the UL signal strength signal intensity stored is compared where have its sample to search relevant UE in the time domain in a matrix by with the signal strength signal intensity of report.If this can not easily be determined, then measure needs and re-start, such as, adopt preceding empty timeslots or adopt the signal strength signal intensity pattern easily found.
This is mainly used in the business situation that RBS is just operating in inactive/low-power mode.Business is therefore typically very not high, and such as to optimize UL scheduling by following method be rational with simplified measurement:
UL transmission was not carried out immediately before or after the UE paid close attention to.
(such as 10ms) upper continuing transmits over a long time to make the UE of concern.
This provides supplementary or alternative solution to the measurement based on UE, and wherein travelling performance is processed when not opening the conveyer of community of the business of transport.User can not see the degradation in any service, because LTE community is just in time opened in time.
As previously described, benefit comprises power consumption and the operability cost of reduction, such as, must transmit the time of the information of cell definitions by minimizing or at least reducing wherein radio base station and/or reduce wherein radio base station and need to make its receiver exercisable time.
Exemplarily, for uplink measurement, handover measurement can be performed when not opening RBS conveyer.The assessment of the target handover candidate that may be able to be based on the RBS considered also, is ordered by related network unit (such as serving RBS) and measures.In this way, the sum measured can be limited.Generally, Measuring Time phase and signaling also will be restricted, and therefore minimize the load in transmission network and power consumption.
Also possibly, select one group of possible target handover candidate based on the what is called with known geographical locations with reference to upper measurement, thus the rough estimate of location of user equipment is provided.This restriction actual needs executive signal ionization meter or open their quantity of RBS of conveyer.
Process above can be realized by the appropriately combined of processing hardware of hardware or software and executive software in device or corresponding controller module.
