Fig. 2 is progress soft handover practical operation schematic diagram;
Fig. 3 is a kind of structure drawing of device of soft-switching device of the invention.Embodiment
The embodiments of the invention provide a kind of soft handover method and relevant apparatus, it can be related to cellular concept in the operating process for carrying out soft handover, cell is classified according to the power of the annexation between cell and UE and signal, in general can be divided into three classes:Active set, monitoring collection and detection collection.In soft switching process, UE can set up connection with one or more cells and set up service chaining, active set in other words(Also activation is made to collect)For the current set that all cells being connected are set up with the UE.The UE is during movement, it is certain to change therewith with the signal strength of the cell in original active set, cell and the signal quality of the UE in some of which active set will may be no longer appropriate for keeping being connected to the UE worse and worse, therefore monitoring collection(Also it is Candidate Set)In cell be originally belong to active set but it is current disconnected with the UE and cell that the UE can also be measured set.And detect that the collection UE can currently be detected, but the set for the cell do not set up with the UE in the Neighboring Cell List of the best cell of being not belonging in other words of the being connected signal that the UE currently connects.
Above three set can be converted mutually, and the rational network planning and software realization can make three collection Close cooperation, cell in active set is removed when being unsatisfactory for signal conditioning from active set, and monitor that the cell that collection and detection are concentrated can be connected when meeting signal conditioning with UE foundation, thus add active set, UE and residing wireless environment is obtained the optimum gain on signal.When UE is in the overlay area of some cell, and the signal of the cell is when meeting condition, because of WCDMA(Wide band Code Division Multiple Access, WCDMA) neighbor cell can be planned to co-frequency cell in system, the co-frequency cell can be added active set by network side, realize the merging or frame selection of multiple wireless signal, to bring up and downstream signal gain, but on the contrary, when the cell for meeting signal conditioning can not add active set, it will result in co-channel interference, therefore in order to obtain signal gain and avoid co-channel interference, network side needs accurately to identify which co-frequency cell can add active set, the connection with UE can be set up in other words.In the prior art generally by the scrambling code information for the Target cell that UE detects cell information and reports the detection for meeting signal conditioning to concentrate, system determines Target cell according to scrambling code information, and soft handover is carried out to the Target cell, the Target cell is added into active set.
RNC is a key network element of emerging 3G network.It is the part of access network, for providing mobile management, call treatment, url management and handover mechanism.Due to RNC is reported according to UE in the prior art target PSC can determine whether out to correspond in other words it is multiple there is PSC identical with the target PSC cell to be determined when, an effective method can not complete the Target cell of operating in soft handover accurately to be determined from multiple cells to be determined, often occur determining or the wrong situation for determining Target cell so that the mortality of soft handover is higher.Therefore in the inventive solutions, RNC is according to the observed time difference eated dishes without rice or wine between each co-frequency cell in the UE UE reported the cell currently connected and homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain set, and the difference between the theoretical time difference eated dishes without rice or wine in the cell currently connected preserved and homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain set between each co-frequency cell, when cell to be determined is multiple, it effectively can therefrom determine the Target cell available for soft handover, improve the accuracy rate for determining Target cell, reduce the mortality of soft handover and eliminate co-channel interference.
At present it is determined that the optional set of cells that UE carries out soft handover is mainly the homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain that the current homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain that the cell being connected is set up with the UE is namely cell in active set, selectable scope is less, the probability of the situation appearance for adding Target cell of the selection less than progress soft handover that so can be covert, therefore for this technical problem, technical scheme additionally provides a kind of preferred optional set of cells:Homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain is gathered, and is further defined as UE active set and is monitored collection There is different districts ID set of cells in homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain, because the cell that monitoring is concentrated is also a part for the homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain for the cell that the UE sets up connection in fact, therefore the homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain of monitoring collection can be also very big as the possibility of the UE Target cells for carrying out soft handover, thus rationally effective expansion has been carried out on the selection range of Target cell, the mortality of soft handover is reduce further.
In order that those skilled in the art more fully understand the scheme of the embodiment of the present invention, the embodiment of the present invention is described in further detail with embodiment below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Embodiment one
Fig. 1 is referred to, it is a kind of method flow diagram of soft handover method of the invention, be the described method comprises the following steps:
S100:The surrounding co-frequency cell for the cell that radio network controller (RNC) currently connects user equipment (UE) is defined as homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain set.
Explanation is needed exist for, this step belongs to setting steps, after setting, unless needed for definition is gathered to homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain or scope is modified, otherwise need not perform during operating in soft handover is carried out and again this step.
The cell that UE described here is currently connected can refer to have built up any one in the one or more cells being connected with the UE, in order to determine relative signal quality preferably cell to be determined, technical scheme gives one preferred embodiment, it is specially to choose the best cell of signal quality that the UE currently connects to choose the cell that the UE currently connects, using the best cell of this signal quality as reference, the scope of homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain set is determined.
At present it is determined that the optional set of cells that UE carries out soft handover is mainly the homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain that the current homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain that the cell being connected is set up with the UE is namely cell in active set, selectable scope is less, the probability of the situation appearance for adding Target cell of the selection less than progress soft handover that so can be covert.And the homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain set of this step, refer to the set of cells with the co-frequency cell around the cell being connected with the UE chosen, such as the cell nearer apart from the cell, in order to determine relative signal quality preferably cell to be determined, technical scheme gives one preferred embodiment, will the surrounding co-frequency cell be further defined as choose the different districts ID set of cells.Moreover, when the best cell of signal quality in the cell that the cell that the UE of selection is currently connected specially currently is connected with the UE, the surrounding is with frequency The set of cell with different districts ID in cell and active set that cell is concentrated equivalent to the active set including the UE, monitoring and the homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain that monitoring collects, because the cell that monitoring is concentrated is also a part for the homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain that be connected cell is set up with the UE in fact, therefore the homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain of monitoring collection can be also very big as the possibility of the UE Target cells for carrying out soft handover, thus rationally effective expansion has been carried out on the selection range of Target cell, the mortality of soft handover is reduce further.
S101:The RNC receives the UE and detects the same frequency event report reported after the homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain set, and the same frequency event report includes the observed time difference eated dishes without rice or wine in the main scrambler PSC of target and the cell currently connected and homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain set between each co-frequency cell;
Need exist for explanation be, the UE is according to set by step S100, detect each cell included in the homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain set, the PSC of soft handover can be carried out by determining, and according to the data transfer during detection, the observed time difference eated dishes without rice or wine between each co-frequency cell and the selected cell currently connected with the UE in the homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain set is determined, in case using in step s 103.
S102:The PSC of each co-frequency cell is matched during the RNC gathers the target PSC of acquisition with the homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain, regard the PSC and co-frequency cell described in the target PSC identicals as cell to be determined;
Need exist for explanation be, the RNC has just saved the PSC of each cell in networking, therefore the PSC of each co-frequency cell is that the RNC chooses from the PSC preserved in homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain set here, belongs to prior art, just repeats no more here.
During being matched, all cells during can disposably the homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain be gathered are matched, small during can also the homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain be gathered is divided into several parts and matched successively, and the foundation of division is the distance with homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain apart from the selected cell currently connected.This matching way can fast and accurately determine cell to be determined.
Matched in the homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain of the cell currently connected in first gathering the homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain, if matched with target PSC identical cells, matched and do not continued to be matched behind this cell portion, into step S103. If match it is unsuccessful if further gather from the homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain in active set other cells homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain in matched, if matched with target PSC identical cells, then match and do not continued to be matched behind this cell portion, into step S103.
Further remove and matched after above-mentioned two parts cell in remaining cell from the set of the homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain if matching is unsuccessful, if matched with target PSC identical cells, then match behind this cell portion, into step S103.
S103:When the cell to be determined is multiple cells with different districts ID, the RNC calculates the difference of the theoretical time difference eated dishes without rice or wine between the observed time difference of the correspondence cell to be determined and the cell currently connected and the corresponding cell to be determined of preservation respectively;
Need exist for explanation, the theoretical time difference be by networking when the configuration data of each cell obtain and preserve, the RNC is when calculate the difference, and the theoretical time difference is that the RNC is directly obtained from the data of preservation.When being calculated, in addition to other calculations that can calculate the difference, technical scheme provides a kind of calculation of the preferred calculating difference:
X=ABS(((OFFa+Tma)-(OFFb+Tmb))mod 256 - ((Diffa-Tcella)-(Diffb-Tcellb)) mod 256);
Wherein,
A represents the cell currently connected;B represents any one in the cell to be determined.OFFa and Tma numerical value is obtained from the RNC from the FrameOffset and ChipOffset of the UE of preservation Radio Link links.
Obtained during the cell currently connected and the homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain that OFFb and Tmb numerical value is included in being accused from the measurement on the UE are gathered in eating dishes without rice or wine between each co-frequency cell and the signal transmission time difference of standard interface IUB interfaces.
That is the data in (OFFa+Tma)-(OFFb+Tmb) are to belong to the data related to eating dishes without rice or wine.
Diffa and Diffb numerical value is obtained from NODEB grades of load broadcast, wherein Diffa and Diffb represent BFN and the RFN difference of CELLa and CELLb cells respectively, wherein BFN is the general frame number counter in NodeB, full name is Node B Frame Number, and number range arrives for 0 4095frameso RFN are RNC general frame number counter, and full name is RNC Frame Number, and number range is 0 to 4095fmmes.
Tcella and Tcellb is loaded from cell-level and obtained, wherein Tcell is Supplemental Channel (Supplemental Channel in cell, SCH), CPICH Common Pilot Channel (Common Pilot Channel,) and a time offset of the downlink scrambling code relative to BFN CPICH, span 0 to 9, unit is 256chips.
That is the data in (Diffa-Tcella)-(Diffb-Tcellb) are to belong to and the interface related data of standard interface IUB.
ABS represents absolute value.
S104:When the difference is when meeting predetermined threshold value, the RNC determines that the cell to be determined of the correspondence difference carries out the Target cell of soft handover for the UE.
That is, when the UE detect the presently described observed time difference determined and the theoretical time difference that has preserved closer to, that is the X obtained numerical value is smaller, then it represents that the more suitable Target cell that soft handover is carried out as the UE of the corresponding cell of the observed time difference.
The predetermined threshold value can be according to residing for current UE network area network environment carry out adaptability increase or reduction, so that the final situation that can not determine Target cell occurs in reduction of trying one's best, and reduction determines that the corresponding X of multiple cells to be determined numerical value can meet the situation appearance of predetermined threshold value as far as possible.
For the effective N spatial datas safeguarded switching flow, define a respective cell:When some cell is as BestCell, an associated N spatial data structure is described as follows:There is data structure identical N bars record(Record number can be added arbitrarily), every record includes:The corresponding CELLID numbers of one PSC, the PSC(0,1 or multiple), cell to be determined, the continuous handoff failure number of times of cell to be determined, and a flag bit for whether needing regularly to remove for this record;
According to step S103, calculate respectively each cell in the corresponding cell to be determined of the cell Xi (i=l, 2 ... m), the Xi cells for being less than or equal to the predetermined threshold value are added into set Y;
If set Υ numbers are equal to 0, " number of cells to be determined is identified " of the PSC is designated as " equal to 0 " and exits algorithm; If set Y numbers are more than 1, only record " number of cells mark to be determined " is " being more than 1 ", and the minimum corresponding cell ID to be determined of selection wherein Xi values carries out soft handover;
If set Y numbers are equal to 1, corresponding CELLID is included in N spaces, selects the cell ID to be determined to carry out soft handover;
After initiation soft handover, RNC is easy to the efficient process of subsequent detection collection report further according to whether RL_Restore_Ind confirmations handover success or failure is received, and safeguard in N spaces data such as " the continuous handoff failure number of times of candidate cell ".
That is, when there is multiple differences to meet predetermined threshold value, the RNC determines that the corresponding cell to be determined minimum in the multiple difference carries out the Target cell of soft handover for the UE.State.Fig. 2 is referred to, it carries out soft handover practical operation schematic diagram for the present invention.In the present embodiment, the UE cell currently connected is further defined to the best cell of signal quality that the UE currently connects, and the surrounding co-frequency cell of the best cell of the signal quality that the UE is currently connected is further defined to the set of cells in the best homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain of cell of signal quality that the UE currently connects and the homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain of the homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain with different districts ID.
C1 is the current connected optimum subdistricts of the UE(The best cell of the signal quality that namely currently connects)
Cll, C12, C13, C14, C15 are C1 homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domains.
Wherein, C11 and C12 belong to the active set cell of the UE, i.e., also establish and be connected with the UE.
C13, C14 and C15 belong to the monitoring collection cell of the UE.

Set C113, C121, C131, C142 identical with C152 PSC, be all PSC=100, but respective cell ID is different. Set Clll, C122, C141 identical with C153 PSC, be all PSC=200, but respective cell ID is different.
C888 be it is same ' ", area, it is belonging respectively to C12, C13 and C15 homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain.Presently described UE is resided in C1, and C1 belongs to the best cell of the signal quality being connected with the UE, and obtained homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain collection is combined into:
(C888 is repeated, and can only be recorded once by Clll, C112, C113, C121, C122, C888), C131, C132, C141, C142, C151, C152 and C153
The UE is included by upper detection after detection, wherein target PSC=100, then the corresponding cell of threshold value is distributed as in the homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain set:
C113, C121, C131, C142 and C152.
Following formula is used respectively to above-mentioned several cells:
