Description

协作区域的配置方法、设备及*** 技术领域 Coordination area configuration method, device and system

本发明涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种协作区域的配置方法、设备及 ***。背景技术 The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method, device, and system for configuring a collaboration area. Background technique

在通信***中，一般情况下，每个用户设备（User Equipment, UE )由其服务基站提供服务。但在某些特定情况下，例如： UE处于服务基站服务范围内的边缘位置，或者 UE受到强干扰信号时，该 UE的服务基站就很难保证对该 UE 的服务质量。为了解决这个问题，在通信***里引入了联合多点传送 (Coordinated multipoint transmission/Reception , CoMP)技术。在 CoMP技术中 , 将可为 UE提供服务的相邻基站的小区的集合定义为协作区域，通过协作区域中的各小区所属相邻基站联合地为 UE提供的服务，该 UE受到的强干扰信号将转变成有用信号，在保证了该 UE能正常工作的同时，还可提高该 UE传送信号的效率。 In a communication system, each user equipment (User Equipment, UE) is generally served by its serving base station. However, in some specific cases, for example, when the UE is in an edge location within the service area of the serving base station, or when the UE is subjected to a strong interference signal, it is difficult for the serving base station of the UE to guarantee the quality of service to the UE. In order to solve this problem, a Coordinated Multipoint Transmission/Reception (CoMP) technology is introduced in the communication system. In the CoMP technology, a set of cells of a neighboring base station that can serve the UE is defined as a cooperation area, and a strong interference signal received by the UE is jointly provided by the neighboring base stations to which the cells belong to the UE in the cooperation area. It will be converted into a useful signal, which can improve the efficiency of the UE to transmit signals while ensuring that the UE can work normally.

在现有技术中，通常是由网络侧为 UE配置固定的协作区域，当 UE在受到强干扰时，可搜索或测量该协作区域，在当中选择适合为自己提高服务的小区，并将该小区的信息上报到服务基站，服务基站通过向该小区所属基站发送协作请求消息，实现与该基站一起为 UE提供联合服务。在实现上述为 UE配置协作区域的过程中，发明人发现现有技术中至少存在如下问题：协作区域中的各小区的网络状况是时时变化的。例如：在某一时段，若协作区域中的某小区负载较高，则该小区所属基站是无法接受服务基站发送的协作请求的。 In the prior art, a fixed cooperation area is configured for the UE by the network side. When the UE is subjected to strong interference, the cooperative area may be searched or measured, among which a cell suitable for improving the service is selected, and the cell is selected. The information is reported to the serving base station, and the serving base station provides a joint service for the UE together with the base station by sending a cooperation request message to the base station to which the cell belongs. In the process of implementing the foregoing configuration of the cooperation area for the UE, the inventors have found that at least the following problems exist in the prior art: The network conditions of the cells in the cooperation area are changed from time to time. For example, in a certain period of time, if a cell in a coordinated area has a high load, the base station to which the cell belongs cannot receive the cooperative request sent by the serving base station.

在步骤 301 中相邻基站 2可以是周期性的获取自身的负载信息，也可以是在遇到触发事件时获取自身的负载信息，所述触发事件可以是当负载超过某一负载门限值时，相邻基站 2获取自身的负载信息，也可以是相邻基站 2 在接收到指示评估自身负载的指令时，获取自身的负载信息。 In step 301, the neighboring base station 2 may periodically acquire its own load information, or may acquire its own load information when a trigger event is encountered, and the trigger event may be when the load exceeds a certain load threshold. The neighboring base station 2 acquires its own load information, and the neighboring base station 2 may acquire its own load information when receiving an instruction to instruct to evaluate its own load.

步骤 302,相邻基站 2根据该负载信息获取自身的 CoMP能力信息。该获取的自身的 CoMP能力信息包括 CoMP能力标识，该 CoMP能力标识指示如下各项中的至少一项： Step 302: The neighboring base station 2 acquires its own CoMP capability information according to the load information. The obtained CoMP capability information includes a CoMP capability identifier, and the CoMP capability identifier indicates at least one of the following:

It is set that these stored and/or set neighboring base station 2's own CoMP capability information can be used for CoMP operation when the neighboring base station 2 is serving as a serving base station.

其中，上述 CoMP的级别可分为高级别 CoMP、中级别 CoMP和低级别 CoMP。该 CoMP的级别的划分方法可以有很多种，其中包括根据数据的传输速率来划分 CoMP的级别的方法，或者根据数据转发层协议来划分 CoMP的级别的方法。 The above-mentioned levels of CoMP can be classified into high-level CoMP, medium-level CoMP, and low-level CoMP. There are many ways to divide the level of the CoMP, including a method of dividing the level of the CoMP according to the transmission rate of the data, or a method of dividing the level of the CoMP according to the data forwarding layer protocol.

上述根据数据的传输速率而划分 CoMP的级别的方法如下： The above method of dividing the level of CoMP according to the data transmission rate is as follows:

将数据的传输速率大于第一门限值的 CoMP划分为高级别 CoMP; 将数据的传输速率小于第一门限值，并且大于第二门限值的 CoMP划分为中级别 CoMP的级别； CoMP that has a data transmission rate greater than the first threshold is classified into a high-level CoMP; The transmission rate of the data is less than the first threshold, and the CoMP greater than the second threshold is divided into the level of the medium-level CoMP;

将数据的传输速率小于第二门限值，并且大于第三门限值的 CoMP划分为氐级别 CoMP。 The data transmission rate is less than the second threshold, and the CoMP greater than the third threshold is divided into the 氐 level CoMP.

例如：若上述第一门限值为 20Mbps, 第二门限值为 10Mbps, 第三门限值为 5Mbps,则将数据的传输数据大于 20Mbps的 CoMP划分为高级别 CoMP; 将数据的传输数据小于 20Mbps 并且大于 10Mbps 的 CoMP 划分为中级别 CoMP的级别；将数据的传输数据小于 10Mbps并且大于 5Mbps的 CoMP划分为低级别 CoMP。 For example, if the first threshold is 20 Mbps, the second threshold is 10 Mbps, and the third threshold is 5 Mbps, CoMP with data transmission data greater than 20 Mbps is divided into high-level CoMP; data transmission data is smaller than CoMP of 20 Mbps and greater than 10 Mbps is classified into a medium-level CoMP level; CoMP whose data transmission data is less than 10 Mbps and greater than 5 Mbps is classified into a low-level CoMP.

上述根据数据转发层协议来划分 CoMP的级别的方法如下： The above method for dividing the level of CoMP according to the data forwarding layer protocol is as follows:

将支持分组数据集中协议（Packet Data Convergence Protocol, PDCP ) 的 CoMP划分为高级别 CoMP; Dividing CoMP supporting Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) into high-level CoMP;

将支持无限链路控制协议（ Radio Link Control , RLC ) 的 CoMP划分为中级别 CoMP的级别； CoMP that supports the Infinite Link Control Protocol (RLC) is classified into a medium-level CoMP level;

将支持媒体接纳控制协议（Medium Access Control, MAC ) 的 CoMP划分为低级别 CoMP。 CoMP supporting Medium Access Control (MAC) is classified into low-level CoMP.

其中，相邻基站 2广播该加入 CoMP能力信息的 SIB*消息的触发条件可以是相邻基站 2周期性广播该加入 CoMP能力信息的 SIB*消息；也可以是相邻基站 2在遇到运营商设置的触发事件 (例如：相邻基站 2的 CoMP能力信息的全部或一部分发生了变化 )时，广播该加入 CoMP能力信息的 SIB*消息。 The trigger condition for the neighboring base station 2 to broadcast the SIB* message to be added to the CoMP capability information may be that the neighboring base station 2 periodically broadcasts the SIB* message that joins the CoMP capability information; or the neighboring base station 2 encounters the carrier. When the set trigger event (for example, all or a part of the CoMP capability information of the neighboring base station 2 has changed), the SIB* message to which the CoMP capability information is added is broadcast.

其中，上述加入 CoMP能力信息的 SIB*消息也可以用加入 CoMP能力信息的非专用***信息广播（SIB ) 消息代替。 The SIB* message added to the CoMP capability information may also be replaced by a non-dedicated system information broadcast (SIB) message added to the CoMP capability information.

例如：服务基站 1的服务小区内的某 UE接收到包含相邻基站 2的 CoMP 能力信息的 SIB*消息，该 UE再获取其中的 CoMP能力信息后，将其报告到服务基站 1，服务基站 1通过 ANR功能接收所述 CoMP能力信息。 For example, a UE in the serving cell of the serving base station 1 receives the SIB* message including the CoMP capability information of the neighboring base station 2, and after acquiring the CoMP capability information therein, the UE reports the information to the serving base station 1, and the serving base station 1 The CoMP capability information is received through an ANR function.

其中，上述包含 CoMP能力信息的 SIB*消息也可以为包含 CoMP能力信息的非专用 SIB消息。 The SIB* message including the CoMP capability information may also be a non-dedicated SIB message including CoMP capability information.

第二种获取方法：服务基站 1通过与相邻基站 2之间的 X2接口接收来自相邻基站 2的所述 CoMP能力信息。 The second acquisition method: the serving base station 1 receives the CoMP capability information from the neighboring base station 2 through an X2 interface with the neighboring base station 2.

例如：服务基站 1通过 X2接口接收到来自相邻基站 2的包含该 CoMP 能力信息的 CoMP CAPABILITY ACKNOWLEDGE消息。 For example: The serving base station 1 receives a CoMP CAPABILITY ACKNOWLEDGE message from the neighboring base station 2 containing the CoMP capability information through the X2 interface.

第三种获取方法：服务基站 1通过与 MME之间的 S1接口接收包含所述 CoMP能力信息的消息。 A third acquisition method: The serving base station 1 receives a message including the CoMP capability information through an S1 interface with the MME.

例如：服务基站 1通过 S1接口接收到来自 MME的包含 CoMP能力信息的 CoMP CAPABILITY ACKNOWLEDGE消息。第四种获取方法：服务基站 1通过与 0&M实体之间的运行管理实体接口接收包含所述 CoMP能力信息的消息。 For example: The serving base station 1 receives a CoMP CAPABILITY ACKNOWLEDGE message containing CoMP capability information from the MME through the S1 interface. A fourth method for obtaining: the serving base station 1 receives the message including the CoMP capability information by using an operation management entity interface between the O&M entity.

例如：服务基站 1通过运行管理实体接口接收到来自 0&M实体的包含 CoMP能力信息的 CoMP CAPABILITY ACKNOWLEDGE消息。 For example: The serving base station 1 receives a CoMP CAPABILITY ACKNOWLEDGE message containing CoMP capability information from the O&M entity through the operational management entity interface.

步骤 305,服务基站 1根据获取的所述含 CoMP能力信息确定所述相邻基站 2的 CoMP能力。 Step 305: The serving base station 1 determines the CoMP capability of the neighboring base station 2 according to the obtained CoMP-containing capability information.

在步骤 305中，若服务基站 1是首次获取到相邻基站 2的 CoMP能力信息，则服务基站 1将所述 CoMP能力信息作为相邻基站 2的 CoMP能力存储起来；若服务基站 1是再次获取到相邻基站 2的 CoMP能力信息，则服务基站 1将判断该再次获取的 CoMP能力信息是否与上述 CoMP能力相同，如果该再次获取的 CoMP 能力信息与上述 CoMP 能力不同，则用该再次获取的 CoMP 能力信息作为相邻基站 2 的 CoMP 能力存储起来，即用再次获取的 CoMP能力信息更新上述相邻基站 2的 CoMP能力。 In step 305, if the serving base station 1 acquires the CoMP capability information of the neighboring base station 2 for the first time, the serving base station 1 stores the CoMP capability information as the CoMP capability of the neighboring base station 2; if the serving base station 1 is acquired again The CoMP capability information of the neighboring base station 2 is determined by the serving base station 1 to determine whether the re-obtained CoMP capability information is the same as the CoMP capability. If the re-obtained CoMP capability information is different from the CoMP capability, the re-acquisition is used. The CoMP capability information is stored as the CoMP capability of the neighboring base station 2, that is, the CoMP capability information of the neighboring base station 2 is updated with the CoMP capability information acquired again.

每当服务基站 1再次获取到相邻基站 2的 CoMP能力信息时，都会在判定该 CoMP能力信息与 CoMP能力不同时，用再次获取的 CoMP能力信息更新相邻基站 2的 CoMP能力，以便该相邻基站 2的 CoMP能力可以时时更新，保持较新的相邻基站 2的 CoMP能力。 When the serving base station 1 acquires the CoMP capability information of the neighboring base station 2 again, it will update the CoMP capability of the neighboring base station 2 with the CoMP capability information acquired again when determining that the CoMP capability information is different from the CoMP capability. The CoMP capability of the neighboring base station 2 can be updated from time to time to maintain the CoMP capability of the newer neighboring base station 2.

或者还可以为： Or it can be:

在步骤 305中，当服务基站 1首次获取到相邻基站 2的 CoMP能力信息时，服务基站 1将所述 CoMP能力信息作为相邻基站 2的 CoMP能力存储起来；当服务基站 1再次获取到相邻基站 2的 CoMP能力信息时，服务基站 1 用该再次获取的 CoMP能力信息作为相邻基站 2的 CoMP能力存储起来，即用再次获取的 CoMP能力信息更新上述相邻基站 2的 CoMP能力。 In step 305, when the serving base station 1 first acquires the CoMP capability information of the neighboring base station 2, the serving base station 1 stores the CoMP capability information as the CoMP capability of the neighboring base station 2; when the serving base station 1 acquires the phase again When the CoMP capability information of the neighboring base station 2 is used, the serving base station 1 stores the CoMP capability information acquired again as the CoMP capability of the neighboring base station 2, that is, updates the CoMP capability of the neighboring base station 2 by using the acquired CoMP capability information.

服务基站 1每次将再次接收到的相邻基站 2的 CoMP能力信息作为相邻基站 2的 CoMP能力存储起来，同样可以达到时时更新该相邻基站 2的 CoMP 能力的技术效果。在本实施例中服务基站 1 中存储的相邻基站 2的 CoMP能力包括 CoMP 能力标识，该 CoMP能力标识指示如下项目中的至少一项： The serving base station 1 stores the CoMP capability information of the neighboring base station 2 received again as the CoMP capability of the neighboring base station 2, and can also achieve the technical effect of updating the CoMP capability of the neighboring base station 2 from time to time. The CoMP capability of the neighboring base station 2 stored in the serving base station 1 in this embodiment includes a CoMP capability identifier, and the CoMP capability identifier indicates at least one of the following items:

所述相邻基站 2是否支持基站间的 CoMP; Whether the neighboring base station 2 supports CoMP between base stations;

当然，在本实施例中步骤 304中获取的相邻基站 2的 CoMP能力信息也可以如上述 CoMP能力一样，包括如上项目中的至少一项。 Of course, the CoMP capability information of the neighboring base station 2 acquired in step 304 in this embodiment may also be the same as the CoMP capability described above, including at least one of the above items.

其中，上述 CoMP的级别与步骤 302中的 CoMP的级别一样，可分为高级别 CoMP、中级别 CoMP和低级别 CoMP。 The level of the above CoMP is the same as the level of the CoMP in the step 302, and can be classified into a high level CoMP, a medium level CoMP, and a low level CoMP.

步骤 306, 服务基站 1根据该相邻基站 2的 CoMP能力自动配置 CoMP 能力区域。 Step 306: The serving base station 1 automatically configures the CoMP capability area according to the CoMP capability of the neighboring base station 2.

在本实施例中服务基站 1根据相邻基站 2的 CoMP能力可共配置并维护三个 CoMP能力区域，分别是高级别 CoMP能力区域，中级别 CoMP能力区域，低级别 CoMP能力区域。需要说明的是，在这三个 CoMP能力区域中并不一定都是由相邻基站 2中的各小区构成，这三个 CoMP能力区域中可以包括服务基站 1的其它相邻基站下的小区，并且也可以包括服务基站 1管辖范围内的小区。本实施例是以相邻基站 2为例描述其对服务基站 1配置并维护的三个 CoMP能力区域的影响。 In this embodiment, the serving base station 1 can co-configure and maintain three CoMP capability areas according to the CoMP capability of the neighboring base station 2, which are a high-level CoMP capability area, a medium-level CoMP capability area, and a low-level CoMP capability area. It should be noted that, in the three CoMP capability areas, the cells in the neighboring base stations 2 are not necessarily configured, and the three CoMP capability areas may include cells in other neighboring base stations of the serving base station 1. It may also include cells within the jurisdiction of the serving base station 1. This embodiment describes the influence of the neighboring base station 2 on the three CoMP capability areas configured and maintained by the serving base station 1.

在服务基站 1根据该相邻基站 2的 CoMP能力信息可获知相邻基站 2是否支持基站间的 CoMP和 /或相邻基站 2支持哪种级别 CoMP, 相邻基站 2下的小区是否支持基站间的 CoMP 和 /或相邻基站 2 小的小区都支持哪种级别 CoMP。如果该 CoMP能力信息中包括的 CoMP能力标识指示支持基站间的 CoMP (该支持基站间的 CoMP可以为相邻基站 2支持基站间的 CoMP, 或为相邻基站 2管辖范围内的至少一个小区支持基站间的 CoMP ), 并且还指示了 CoMP的级别（该 CoMP的级别可以为相邻基站 2支持的基站间的 CoMP的级别，或相邻基站管 2辖范围内的至少一个小区支持的 CoMP的级别），则将所述相邻基站 2下的所有小区或所述至少一个小区自动划分到与所述 CoMP的级别对应的 CoMP能力区域中。 The serving base station 1 can learn, according to the CoMP capability information of the neighboring base station 2, whether the neighboring base station 2 supports CoMP between the base stations and/or which level of CoMP is supported by the neighboring base station 2, and whether the cell under the neighboring base station 2 supports the inter-base station. Which level of CoMP is supported by CoMP and/or neighboring base station 2 small cells. If the CoMP capability identifier included in the CoMP capability information indicates support for CoMP between the base stations (the CoMP between the supporting base stations may support CoMP between the base stations for the neighboring base station 2, or at least one cell support within the jurisdiction of the neighboring base station 2) CoMP between base stations, and also indicates the level of CoMP (the level of CoMP may be the level of CoMP between base stations supported by neighboring base stations 2) And, or the level of the CoMP supported by the at least one cell in the range of the neighboring base station 2, automatically all the cells or the at least one cell in the neighboring base station 2 are automatically classified to the level of the CoMP. The CoMP capability area.

例如：该 CoMP能力中包括的 CoMP能力标识指示相邻基站 2支持基站间的 CoMP, 和相邻基站 2支持基站间的高级别 CoMP, 则服务基站 1 自动将该相邻基站 2下的所有小区划分到高级别 CoMP能力区域。 For example, the CoMP capability identifier included in the CoMP capability indicates that the neighboring base station 2 supports CoMP between the base stations, and the neighboring base station 2 supports the high-level CoMP between the base stations, and the serving base station 1 automatically all the cells under the neighboring base station 2 Divided into high-level CoMP capability areas.

又或者，该 CoMP能力中包括的 CoMP能力标识指示相邻基站 2下的两个小区（设这两个小区分别为小区 A和小区 B ) 支持基站间的 CoMP, 并且还包括了小区 A支持高级别 CoMP, 小区 B支持低级别 CoMP,则服务基站 1 自动将小区 A划分到高级别 CoMP能力区域，将小区 B划分到低级别 CoMP 能力区域。 Or, the CoMP capability identifier included in the CoMP capability indicates that two cells in the neighboring base station 2 (the two cells are respectively a cell A and a cell B) support CoMP between the base stations, and further includes the cell A support high. Level CoMP, Cell B supports low-level CoMP, and the serving base station 1 automatically divides the cell A into a high-level CoMP capability area and the cell B into a low-level CoMP capability area.

在实际工作时，相邻基站 2的负载是时时变化的，因此相邻基站 2的 CoMP 能力信息也将随之时时变化。本实施例中，服务基站 1 通过接收该变化的 CoMP能力信息，更新自身保存的相邻基站 2的 CoMP能力，使得该 CoMP 能力也能得以动态的变化，因此当服务基站 1根据该动态变化的 CoMP能力配置的 CoMP能力区域内的各小区也将随着 CoMP能力的更新而不断变化。 In actual operation, the load of the neighboring base stations 2 changes from time to time, so the CoMP capability information of the neighboring base stations 2 will also change from time to time. In this embodiment, the serving base station 1 updates the CoMP capability of the neighboring base station 2 saved by itself by receiving the changed CoMP capability information, so that the CoMP capability can also be dynamically changed, so when the serving base station 1 changes according to the dynamic Each cell in the CoMP capability area of the CoMP capability configuration will also change as the CoMP capability is updated.

这种变化可体现为 CoMP能力区域中的某个小区，设其为小区 C (该小区 C可以是相邻基站 2中的一个小区，也可以是服务基站 1的其它相邻基站中的一个小区，在本实施例中设其为相邻基站 2中的一个小区）根据自身 CoMP能力级别的改变，在不同的时刻可以属于不同的 CoMP能力区域。 The change may be embodied as a cell in the CoMP capability area, and is set to be the cell C (the cell C may be one of the neighboring base stations 2, or may be one of the other neighboring base stations of the serving base station 1). In this embodiment, it is assumed that one of the neighboring base stations 2 may belong to different CoMP capability regions at different times according to changes in its own CoMP capability level.

例如：服务基站 1 (在本实施例中该服务基站 1也可以代表每个基站 )分别维护三个 CoMP能力区域：高级别 CoMP能力区域，中级别 CoMP能力区域，低级别 CoMP能力区域。 For example, the serving base station 1 (in this embodiment, the serving base station 1 can also represent each base station) maintains three CoMP capability areas: a high-level CoMP capability area, a medium-level CoMP capability area, and a low-level CoMP capability area.

当相邻基站 2的 CoMP能力中包括的 CoMP能力标识所指示的内容发生改变时，例如，当 CoMP能力标识所指示的小区 C支持的 CoMP的级别由 "高" 变为 "中"，则服务基站 1自动将小区 C配置到中级别 CoMP能力区域，即相小区 C将退出高级别 CoMP能力区域，进入中级别 CoMP能力区域。 When the content indicated by the CoMP capability identifier included in the CoMP capability of the neighboring base station 2 is changed, for example, when the level of CoMP supported by the cell C indicated by the CoMP capability identifier changes from "high" to "medium", the service The base station 1 automatically configures the cell C to the medium-level CoMP capability area, that is, the phase cell. C will exit the high-level CoMP capability area and enter the medium-level CoMP capability area.

这种变化还可以体现为服务基站 1维护的某个级别的 CoMP能力区域内，小区的数目随着某个和 /或某些小区的支持的 CoMP的级别的改变而发生变化。 This change can also be reflected in a certain level of CoMP capability area maintained by the serving base station 1, the number of cells changing with the level of CoMP supported by a certain and/or certain cells.

例如：服务基站 1维护的高级别 CoMP能力区域中有 3个小区。其中并不包含相邻基站 2下的小区。当服务基站 1更新的相邻基站 2的 CoMP能力后，获知其中的 CoMP能力标识指示出相邻基站 2下的小区 C支持基站间的 CoMP, 并且该 CoMP为高级别 CoMP, 则服务基站 2自动将该小区 C配置到高级别 CoMP能力区域中，此时，服务基站 1维护的高级别 CoMP能力区域中则有 4个小区。 For example: There are 3 cells in the high-level CoMP capability area maintained by the serving base station 1. It does not include the cells under the adjacent base station 2. After the CoMP capability of the neighboring base station 2 is updated by the serving base station 1, it is learned that the CoMP capability identifier indicates that the cell C under the neighboring base station 2 supports the CoMP between the base stations, and the CoMP is a high-level CoMP, the serving base station 2 automatically The cell C is configured in a high-level CoMP capability area. At this time, there are four cells in the high-level CoMP capability area maintained by the serving base station 1.

其中，需要说明的是，若服务基站 1的高级别 CoMP能力区域内的所有小区的 CoMP的级别都降低，并且都无法达到高级别 CoMP能力区域的级别时，该高级别 CoMP能力区域的小区数目将变为最小，该最小的高级别 CoMP能力区域是服务基站 1自身的管辖范围。其它级别的 CoMP能力区域内的小区数目也可能出现上述的最小状况，此时，所述最小状况的 CoMP能力区域也可为服务基站 1自身的管辖范围。 It should be noted that, if the CoMP level of all the cells in the high-level CoMP capability area of the serving base station 1 is reduced, and the level of the high-level CoMP capability area cannot be reached, the number of cells in the high-level CoMP capability area. It will become the smallest, and the smallest high-level CoMP capability area is the jurisdiction of the serving base station 1 itself. The minimum number of cells may also occur in the number of cells in other levels of the CoMP capability area. At this time, the CoMP capability area of the minimum condition may also be the jurisdiction of the serving base station 1 itself.

另外，由于本实施例中的服务基站 1配置并维护了三个级别的 CoMP能力区域，所以当服务基站 1接收到服务的 UE发送来的包含业务标识的业务请求消息后，服务基站 1还将进行如下步骤： In addition, since the serving base station 1 in this embodiment configures and maintains three levels of CoMP capability areas, when the serving base station 1 receives the service request message including the service identifier sent by the serving UE, the serving base station 1 further Perform the following steps:

步骤 307,服务基站 1根据该业务标识可获知该业务标识所指示的业务的等级，并根据该业务的等级为该业务可选择可为其提供服务的 CoMP能力区域。 Step 307: The serving base station 1 can learn the level of the service indicated by the service identifier according to the service identifier, and select a CoMP capability area for which the service can be provided according to the level of the service.

例如：业务标识所指示的业务为需要进行高级别 CoMP, 则服务基站 1 为该 UE所请求的业务选择高级别 CoMP能力协作区域，以便该高级别 CoMP 能力协作区域内的小区为可为该 UE请求的业务提供 CoMP服务。 For example, if the service indicated by the service identifier is a high-level CoMP, the serving base station 1 selects a high-level CoMP capability cooperation area for the service requested by the UE, so that the cell in the high-level CoMP capability cooperation area is the UE. The requested service provides CoMP services.

步骤 308,在选定 CoMP能力区域后，服务基站 1发送业务响应到该 UE, 所述业务响应中包含选定的 CoMP能力区域内的各小区标识。例如：服务基站 1选定高级别 CoMP能力区域，则将包含该高级别 CoMP 能力区域内的各小区标识的业务响应消息发送到该 UE。 Step 308: After selecting the CoMP capability area, the serving base station 1 sends a service response to the UE, where the service response includes each cell identifier in the selected CoMP capability area. For example, when the serving base station 1 selects a high-level CoMP capability area, the service response message including each cell identifier in the high-level CoMP capability area is sent to the UE.

此后，该 UE可按照现有技术的处理方法根据该消息中的各小区标识进行搜索或测量，找到适合为自己提供服务的小区，并将相应的小区标识发送到服务基站 1 ,服务基站 1根据该小区标识可获知该对应的小区所属的相邻基站，设该相邻基站为相邻基站 2, 并向该相邻基站 2发送协作请求消息，以便得到相邻基站 2的联合服务。 Thereafter, the UE may perform a search or measurement according to each cell identifier in the message according to the processing method of the prior art, find a cell suitable for providing services for itself, and send a corresponding cell identifier to the serving base station 1, and the serving base station 1 according to The cell identifier can be used to learn the neighboring base station to which the corresponding cell belongs, and the neighboring base station is the neighboring base station 2, and the cooperation request message is sent to the neighboring base station 2 to obtain the joint service of the neighboring base station 2.

本实施例提供的协作区域的配置方法具有如下有益效果：能够按照当前 ***的实际情况，灵活、有效的配置 CoMP能力区域，提高了配置出的协作区域（即 CoMP能力区域）中的各小区的有效性，同时避免了因协作区域中的小区的有效性低，导致的协作请求被拒绝的情况，减少了基站之间不必要的消息的传递，节约了网络资源，优化了协作基站的选择，减少 UE需要进行测量的基站的数目，同时也可使 UE节约电量。 The configuration method of the collaboration area provided in this embodiment has the following beneficial effects: The CoMP capability area can be flexibly and effectively configured according to the actual situation of the current system, and the cells in the configured cooperation area (ie, the CoMP capability area) are improved. The effectiveness, while avoiding the situation that the cooperation request is rejected due to the low effectiveness of the cells in the cooperation area, reduces the transmission of unnecessary messages between the base stations, saves network resources, and optimizes the selection of the cooperative base stations. The number of base stations that the UE needs to measure is reduced, and the UE can also save power.
