Technical field
本发明涉及通信技术, 具体涉及一种时分***空口同步方法及设备。 背景技术  The present invention relates to communication technologies, and in particular, to a time-division system air interface synchronization method and device. Background technique
TD-SCDMA ( Time Division- Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access , 时分同步的码分多址)***是一个同步***, 所有基站必须釆用相同的时钟源 进行同步。 如果某一基站的时钟源发生漂移, 会导致该基站失步, 从而会带来 基站和终端设备的空口的频率失步和时间失步。基站之间时间不同步时, 带来 的干扰主要有两方面:  The TD-SCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access) system is a synchronous system, and all base stations must use the same clock source for synchronization. If the clock source of a certain base station drifts, the base station will be out of synchronization, which will result in frequency out-of-synchronization and time-out of the air interface of the base station and the terminal equipment. When the time between base stations is not synchronized, there are two main aspects of interference:
1. 基站侧: 相邻基站之间的上、 下行时隙 (下行导频时隙 DWpts、 上行 导频时隙 UPpts、 上行工作时隙、 下行工作时隙)之间的干扰;  1. Base station side: interference between uplink and downlink time slots (downlink pilot time slots DWpts, uplink pilot time slots UPpts, uplink working time slots, downlink working time slots) between adjacent base stations;
2. 终端侧: 相邻基站下的终端之间的上、 下行时隙(DWpts、 UPpts、 上 行工作时隙、 下行工作时隙 )之间的干扰。  2. Terminal side: Interference between uplink and downlink time slots (DWpts, UPpts, uplink working time slots, and downlink working time slots) between terminals in adjacent base stations.
鉴于此, 如何对基站失步进行检测, 检测出失步后釆取何种措施进行时 钟校准是 TD-SCDMA***面临的难题。  In view of this, how to detect the out-of-station of the base station and detect what measures to take after the out-of-synchronization to perform the clock calibration is a difficult problem for the TD-SCDMA system.
目前, TD-SCDMA***基站是通过跟踪时钟参考源来产生基站***所需 要的高性能时钟需求, 所釆用的***时钟参考源是 GPS ( Global Positioning System, 全球定位***)授时接收机, 失步检测的手段主要有时钟源设备本身 的告警和基站设备同步模块的检测告警, 即如果卫星授时接收机不可用, 将会 出现告警, 告警主要有两种: 一种是 GPS授时接收机自身输出的告警, 如天线 开路、短路等; 一种是基站时钟同步模块检测到输入到基站的 lpps时钟性能较 差无法使用进行告警。 时钟校准的方法主要釆用备份时钟源倒换等技术。  At present, the base station of the TD-SCDMA system generates the high-performance clock required by the base station system by tracking the clock reference source. The system clock reference source used is a GPS (Global Positioning System) timing receiver, which is out of step. The detection means mainly include the alarm of the clock source device itself and the detection alarm of the base station equipment synchronization module, that is, if the satellite timing receiver is unavailable, an alarm will occur, and there are two main types of alarms: one is the GPS timing receiver itself output. Alarms, such as open circuit, short circuit, etc.; one is that the base station clock synchronization module detects that the lpps clock input to the base station is poor and cannot be used for alarm. The method of clock calibration mainly uses technologies such as backup clock source switching.
对于参考源丟失, 抖动过大或大频偏等问题, 基站可以通过本地的时钟 进行可用性判断,但是对于时钟参考源緩慢漂移导致的基站失步, 时钟源和基 站设备无法检测出来, 从而也就不能对基站进行时钟校准。 发明内容 For reference source loss, excessive jitter or large frequency offset, the base station can pass the local clock. The availability judgment is made, but the base station is out of synchronization caused by the slow drift of the clock reference source, and the clock source and the base station device cannot be detected, so that the base station cannot be clock-calibrated. Summary of the invention

为了使本技术领域的人员更好地理解本发明实施例的方案,下面结合附图 和实施方式对本发明实施例作进一步的详细说明。  The embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
在时分***中, 终端在进行小区切换时或者根据网络侧的通知, 进行测量 并向网络侧上报测量报告, 其中包含不同小区到达此终端的 SFN之间的偏差 值。 比如, 终端处于小区 1中, 小区 1的相邻小区包括: 小区 2、 小区 3 , 则 该终端上报的测量报告中包含小区 1 和小区 2之间的 SFN的偏差值, 记为 SFN1-SFN2 , 以及小区 1和小区 3之间的 SFN的偏差值, 记为 SFN1-SFN3。 为此, 本发明实施例提供的时分***空口同步方法及设备,根据相邻小区内的 多个终端上报的测量报告中的两小区间 SFN观测时间差(SFN-SFN OTD )进 行联合判决, 确定失步的基站和未失步的基站; 对失步的基站进行同步。  In the time division system, when the terminal performs cell handover or according to the notification of the network side, the terminal performs measurement and reports a measurement report to the network side, which includes the deviation value between the SFNs of different cells arriving at the terminal. For example, the terminal is in the cell 1, and the neighboring cell of the cell 1 includes: the cell 2 and the cell 3. The measurement report reported by the terminal includes the offset value of the SFN between the cell 1 and the cell 2, and is recorded as SFN1-SFN2. And the deviation value of the SFN between the cell 1 and the cell 3, which is denoted as SFN1-SFN3. To this end, the method and device for synchronizing the air interface of the time-division system provided by the embodiment of the present invention perform joint judgment according to the SFN observation time difference (SFN-SFN OTD) between two cells in the measurement report reported by multiple terminals in the neighboring cell, and determine the loss. The base station of the step and the base station that is not out of step; synchronizing the out-of-synchronization base station.
如图 1所示,是本发明实施例时分***空口同步方法的流程图, 包括 以下 步骤:  As shown in FIG. 1 , it is a flowchart of a method for synchronizing air interfaces of a time division system according to an embodiment of the present invention, which includes the following steps:
步骤 101 , 根据相邻小区内的至少一个终端上报的测量报告中的两小区间 SFN观测时间差 ( SFN-SFN OTD ), 确定是否有基站出现失步。  Step 101: Determine, according to the SFN observation time difference (SFN-SFN OTD) between the two cells in the measurement report reported by the at least one terminal in the neighboring cell, whether the base station is out of synchronization.
具体地, 步骤 101可以包括以下步骤:  Specifically, step 101 may include the following steps:
( 1 )通知所述多个终端中第一终端上报测量报告, 具体地, 可以定时通 知所述第一终端上报测量报告。  (1) Notifying the first terminal of the plurality of terminals to report the measurement report. Specifically, the first terminal may report the measurement report periodically.
( 2 )如果所述第一终端上报的测量报告中第一小区和第二小区间 SFN观 测时间差超过预定的第一门限值,则向所述第一终端所在小区内的处于连接状 态的其他终端及与所述第一终端所在小区的相邻小区内的处于连接状态的终 端所形成的组合中的多个终端发起测量控制消息。  (2) if the SFN observation time difference between the first cell and the second cell in the measurement report reported by the first terminal exceeds a predetermined first threshold value, the other connected state in the cell where the first terminal is located The terminal and the plurality of terminals in the combination formed by the terminal in the connected state in the neighboring cell of the cell in which the first terminal is located initiate a measurement control message.
( 3 )接收所述组合中的多个终端上报的测量报告。  (3) receiving a measurement report reported by a plurality of terminals in the combination.
( 4 )如果接收到的测量报告中第一小区和第二小区间 SFN观测时间差超 过所述第一门限的比例超过预定的比例阔值,则确定第一小区中的基站或者第 二小区中的基站出现失步。  (4) determining, in the received measurement report, that the ratio of the SFN observation time difference between the first cell and the second cell exceeds the first threshold exceeds a predetermined proportional threshold, determining whether the base station in the first cell or the second cell The base station is out of sync.
对于上述过程将在后面举例详细说明。 步骤 102, 如果有基站出现失步, 则对失步的基站进行同步。 具体地,在对失步的基站进行同步时, 可以根据所述失步的基站是否有备 份参考源来决定同步方式。 比如, 所述失步的基站有备份参考源, 则优先指示 所述失步的基站将本地时钟切换到所述备份参考源; 否则, 可以将失步的基站 和未失步的基站之间的 SFN-SFN OTD发送给所述失步的基站, 以使所述失步 的基站根据接收到的 SFN-SFN OTD进行时钟校准。 比如, 如果第一小区中的 基站失步, 并且没有备份参考源, 则计算与第一小区相邻的其他小区内的终端 上报的测量报告中第一小区和第二小区间 SFN观测时间差的均值, 并将该均 值发送给第一小区中的基站,以使第一小区中的基站根据接收到的均值进行时 钟校准; 或者如果第二小区中的基站失步, 并且没有备份参考源, 则计算与第 二小区相邻的其他小区内的终端上报的测量报告中第一小区和第二小区间 SFN观测时间差的均值,并将该均值发送给第二小区中的基站, 以使第二小区 中的基站根据接收到的均值进行时钟校准。 The above process will be described in detail later as an example. Step 102: If there is a base station out of synchronization, the out-of-synchronization base station is synchronized. Specifically, when synchronizing the out-of-synchronization base station, the synchronization mode may be determined according to whether the out-of-synchronization base station has a backup reference source. For example, the out-of-synchronization base station has a backup reference source, and then preferentially instructs the out-of-synchronization base station to switch the local clock to the backup reference source; otherwise, between the out-of-synchronization base station and the non-synchronized base station. The SFN-SFN OTD is sent to the out-of-synchronization base station to cause the out-of-synchronization base station to perform clock calibration according to the received SFN-SFN OTD. For example, if the base station in the first cell is out of synchronization and does not back up the reference source, calculate the mean value of the SFN observation time difference between the first cell and the second cell in the measurement report reported by the terminal in the other cell adjacent to the first cell. And transmitting the average value to the base station in the first cell, so that the base station in the first cell performs clock calibration according to the received mean value; or if the base station in the second cell loses synchronization and does not back up the reference source, The average value of the SFN observation time difference between the first cell and the second cell in the measurement report reported by the terminal in the other cell adjacent to the second cell, and the average value is sent to the base station in the second cell, so that the second cell is in the second cell The base station performs clock calibration based on the received average.
基站进行时钟校准的具体的校准过程与现有技术中类似,在此不再详细描 述。  The specific calibration process for the base station to perform clock calibration is similar to that in the prior art and will not be described in detail herein.
当然,本发明实施例的方法中对失步的基站进行同步的过程并不仅限于上 述这种方式, 比如, 可以优选使所述失步的基站根据接收到的 SFN-SFN OTD 进行时钟校准。例如有备份参考源时,失步的基站根据接收到的 SFN-SFN OTD 进行时钟校准。  Of course, the process of synchronizing the out-of-synchronization base station in the method of the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above manner. For example, the out-of-synchronization base station may preferably perform clock calibration according to the received SFN-SFN OTD. For example, when there is a backup reference source, the out-of-synchronization base station performs clock calibration based on the received SFN-SFN OTD.
在本发明实施例中,对失步的基站进行同步时, 首先要确定出具体有哪些 基站处于失步状态, 也就是说, 确定失步的基站和未失步的基站, 然后对失步 的基站进行时钟校准。具体地,可以通过计算所述组合中的多个终端上报的测 量报告中第一小区和第二小区间 SFN观测时间差的均值, 以及第一小区与除 第二小区外的其他相邻小区间 SFN观测时间差的均值、 第二小区与除第一小 区外的其他相邻小区间 SFN观测时间差的均值; 如果第一小区和第二小区间 SFN观测时间差的均值超过第二门限值,并且第一小区与除第二小区外的其他 小区间 SFN观测时间差的均值未超过所述第二门限值, 则确定第二小区中的 基站失步, 第一小区中的基站未失步; 或者如果第一小区和第二小区间 SFN 观测时间差的均值超过第二门限值,并且第二小区与除第一小区外的其他小区 间 SFN观测时间差的均值未超过所述第二门限值, 则确定第一小区的基站失 步, 第二小区中的基站未失步。 详细过程将在后面举例说明。 In the embodiment of the present invention, when synchronizing the out-of-synchronization base stations, first determining which base stations are in an out-of-synchronization state, that is, determining an out-of-synchronization base station and a non-synchronized base station, and then The base station performs clock calibration. Specifically, the average value of the SFN observation time difference between the first cell and the second cell in the measurement report reported by the multiple terminals in the combination, and the SFN between the first cell and other neighboring cells except the second cell may be calculated. Observing the mean value of the time difference, the mean value of the SFN observation time difference between the second cell and other neighboring cells except the first cell; if the mean value of the SFN observation time difference between the first cell and the second cell exceeds the second threshold, and the first If the average value of the SFN observation time difference between the cell and other cells except the second cell does not exceed the second threshold, determining that the base station in the second cell is out of synchronization, the base station in the first cell is not out of synchronization; The mean value of the SFN observation time difference between a cell and the second cell exceeds a second threshold, and the second cell and other cells except the first cell If the mean value of the inter-SFN observation time difference does not exceed the second threshold, it is determined that the base station of the first cell is out of synchronization, and the base station in the second cell is not out of synchronization. The detailed process will be exemplified later.
下面举例进一步详细说明本发明实施例时分***空口同步方法。  The following is an example for further detailing the air interface synchronization method of the time division system according to the embodiment of the present invention.
如图 2所示, 共有三个小区: Celll、 Cell2、 Cell3 , 其中 Celll 中处于连 接状态的 UE有 UEll, UE12, UE13; Cell2中处于连接状态的 UE有 UE21, UE22, UE23。 三个小区互为邻区关系。  As shown in Figure 2, there are three cells: Celll, Cell2, and Cell3. The UEs in the connected state of Celll have UEll, UE12, and UE13. The UEs in the connected state of Cell2 have UE21, UE22, and UE23. The three communities are adjacent to each other.
RNC ( Radio Network Controller, 无线网络控制器)通知 UE11上才艮测量 报告。 具体地, RNC可以定时通知 UE11上 ^艮测量 ^艮告。  The RNC (Radio Network Controller) notifies the UE11 of the measurement report. Specifically, the RNC can periodically notify the UE11 to measure the error.
RNC收到 UE11的测量报告后, 对测量报告中 CELL1与各邻区之间的两 小区间 SFN观测时间差进行判决。 如果其中有两小区间 SFN观测时间差超过 预定的第一门限值, 比如对 TD-SCDMA可设为 3us, 则说明存在两基站间的 时钟相位偏差超标的情况。  After receiving the measurement report of UE11, the RNC determines the time difference between the two small-area SFN observations between CELL1 and each neighboring cell in the measurement report. If the SFN observation time difference between two cells exceeds a predetermined first threshold, for example, TD-SCDMA can be set to 3us, it means that there is a case where the clock phase deviation between the two base stations exceeds the standard.
此时, 为了进一步确定是哪个基站的时钟出现了失步, 则 RNC对 UE12、 UE13、 UE21、 UE22、 UE23发起测量控制消息。  At this time, in order to further determine which base station's clock has lost synchronization, the RNC initiates a measurement control message to UE12, UE13, UE21, UE22, and UE23.
假设上面的判决结果是 CELL1和 CELL2之间的两小区间 SFN观测时间 差超过了第一门限值, 则此时 RNC可以根据 UE12、 UE13、 UE21、 UE22、 UE23上报的测量报告, 分别得到各测量报告中的 CELL1和 CELL2之间的两 小区间 SFN观测时间差, 然后对这些两小区间 SFN观测时间差进行平均, 得 到 CELL1和 CELL2之间的两小区间 SFN观测时间差的均值 νμ2。 如果该均 值 νμ2大于预定的第二门限值(第二门限值可以和第一门限值相同, 也可以不 同),则 RNC还需要进一步获得各测量报告中的 CELL2和 CELL3之间的两小 区间 SFN观测时间差,对这些两小区间 SFN观测时间差进行平均,得到 CELL2 和 CELL3之间的两小区间 SFN观测时间差的均值 V2_3。 如果该均值 V2_3小于 等于所述第二门限值, 则说明 CELL1所在的基站已经失步, CELL2和 CELL3 所在的基站未失步。 Assume that the above judgment result is that the SFN observation time difference between the two cells exceeds the first threshold value between the CELL1 and the CELL2, and the RNC can obtain the respective measurements according to the measurement reports reported by the UE12, the UE13, the UE21, the UE22, and the UE23. The SFN observation time difference between the two cells between CELL1 and CELL2 is reported, and then the SFN observation time difference between the two cells is averaged to obtain the mean ν μ2 of the SFN observation time difference between the two cells between CELL1 and CELL2. If the mean ν μ2 is greater than a predetermined second threshold (the second threshold may be the same as the first threshold, or may be different), the RNC needs to further obtain between CELL2 and CELL3 in each measurement report. The SFN observation time difference between the two cells is averaged, and the SFN observation time difference between the two cells is averaged to obtain the mean value V 2 _ 3 of the SFN observation time difference between the two cells between CELL2 and CELL3. If the average value V 2 _ 3 is less than or equal to the second threshold value, it indicates that the base station where CELL1 is located has lost synchronization, and the base station where CELL2 and CELL3 are located has not lost synchronization.
当然, RNC也可以先获得各测量 4艮告中的 CELL1和 CELL3之间的两小 区间 SFN观测时间差,对这些两小区间 SFN观测时间差进行平均,得到 CELL1 和 CELL3之间的两小区间 SFN观测时间差的均值 νμ3。 如果该均值 Vi-3小于 等于所述第二门限值, 则说明 CELL2所在的基站已经失步, CELL1和 CELL3 所在的基站未失步。 Of course, the RNC can also obtain the SFN observation time difference between the two cells between CELL1 and CELL3 in each measurement, and average the SFN observation time difference between the two cells to obtain the SFN observation between the two cells between CELL1 and CELL3. The mean of the time difference is ν μ3 . If the mean Vi -3 is less than or equal to the second threshold, it indicates that the base station where CELL2 is located has lost synchronization, CELL1 and CELL3. The base station where it is located has not lost synchronization.
需要说明的是,上述第一门限值和第二门限值可以根据应用需要及***的 不同来设定。而且, RNC向 CELL1和 CELL2中除 UE11之外的其他处于连接 状态的终端发起测量控制消息时,可以选取其中的全部或部分终端发起测量控 制消息。  It should be noted that the first threshold value and the second threshold value may be set according to application requirements and systems. Moreover, when the RNC initiates a measurement control message to the terminals in the connection state other than UE11 in CELL1 and CELL2, all or a part of the terminals may initiate a measurement control message.
釆用上述检测方法检测到 Celll所在的基站失步后,对 UE21、 UE22、 UE23 测量的 Cell2和 Celll的两小区间 SFN观测时间差取平均作为对 Celll的时间 校准值, 即对存在时钟相位偏差的基站进行时钟相位补偿。  检测 After detecting that the base station where Celll is located is out of synchronization, the SFN observation time difference between the two cells of Cell2 and Celll measured by UE21, UE22, and UE23 is averaged as a time calibration value for Celll, that is, for the presence of clock phase deviation. The base station performs clock phase compensation.
具体地, 可以由 RNC通知 Celll所在的基站停止 GPS同步, 并将上面计 算得到的时间校准值发送给 Celll所在的基站。  Specifically, the RNC may notify the base station where Cell1 is located to stop GPS synchronization, and send the calculated time calibration value to the base station where Cell1 is located.
Celll 所在的基站的时钟模块根据所述时间校准值对该基站进行时钟校 准。 具体的校准过程与现有技术中类似, 在此不再详细描述。  The clock module of the base station where Celll is located performs clock calibration on the base station according to the time calibration value. The specific calibration process is similar to that in the prior art and will not be described in detail herein.
由此可见,本发明实施例时分***空口同步方法,才艮据相邻小区内的多个 终端上报的测量报告中的 SFN-SFN OTD进行联合判决,确定失步的基站和未 失步的基站,从而可以对时钟源緩慢漂移引起的基站失步进行有效地检测, 进 而对失步的基站进行同步,从而实现了时分***空口同步,保障了基站的正常 工作。  It can be seen that the air interface synchronization method of the time division system of the embodiment of the present invention performs joint decision according to the SFN-SFN OTD in the measurement report reported by multiple terminals in the neighboring cell to determine the out-of-synchronization base station and the unspoken base station. Therefore, the base station out-of-synchronization caused by the slow drift of the clock source can be effectively detected, and then the out-of-step base station is synchronized, thereby realizing the air interface synchronization of the time division system and ensuring the normal operation of the base station.
在实际应用中, 由于两小区间 SFN观测时间差只是测量的两个不同小区 到达同一终端的时间差, 并没有对空口传输距离的不一致做校正, 因此实际上 在上述步骤 101 中, 终端上报的两小区间 SFN观测时间差并不能准确反映出 两个基站间的时钟相位偏差。 两小区间 SFN观测时间差中包括了终端到两个 小区距离不一样而引入的误差,这个误差值随终端与基站距离不一致的大小不 同而不同。 对于城区来说, 由于基站间距较小, 因此两小区间 SFN观测时间 差中因距离不一致产生的误差较小,而对于郊区或农村来说由于基站间距大大 增加, 这种影响就会增加。  In practical applications, since the time difference of SFN observation between two cells is only the time difference between two different cells arriving at the same terminal, and the inconsistency of the air interface transmission distance is not corrected, in fact, in the above step 101, the two cells reported by the terminal The inter-SFN observation time difference does not accurately reflect the clock phase deviation between the two base stations. The SFN observation time difference between the two cells includes the error introduced by the terminal to the difference between the two cells. This error value is different depending on the distance between the terminal and the base station. For the urban area, due to the small base station spacing, the error caused by the inconsistent distance in the SFN observation time difference between the two cells is small, and this effect is increased for the suburban or rural areas due to the greatly increased base station spacing.
为此,为了减少上述误差,在上述本发明实施例时分***空口同步方法中, 可以在 RNC侧来区分基站是处于城区还是郊区, 针对基站所处的不同区域, 设定不同的判断门限, 即上述第一门限值和第二门限值, 以便使***空口同步 达到更好的效果。 比如, 从 TD-SCDMA时隙结构预留的保护间隔(GP )长度来说, 如果两 个基站间的两小区间 SFN观测时间差超过 16个 chip (码片); 两个基站的小 区间就会产生干扰; 因此, 可以设定所述第一门限值 > 16 Chip。 当超过一定 比例( 0% - 100% )的终端上报的两小区间 SFN观测时间差超过所述第一门限 值, 就可以判断基站间有可能失步。 Therefore, in order to reduce the above error, in the air interface synchronization method of the time division system according to the embodiment of the present invention, the RNC side can distinguish whether the base station is in an urban area or a suburb, and set different judgment thresholds for different areas in which the base station is located, that is, The first threshold value and the second threshold value are used to synchronize the air interface of the system to achieve better results. For example, from the guard interval (GP) length reserved by the TD-SCDMA slot structure, if the SFN observation time difference between the two base stations exceeds 16 chips (chips); Interference is generated; therefore, the first threshold value > 16 Chip can be set. When the SFN observation time difference between two cells reported by a terminal exceeding a certain ratio (0% - 100%) exceeds the first threshold, it may be determined that there is a possibility of step loss between the base stations.
TD-SCDMA ***是一个对同步精度要求较高的***, 如果基站间小区时 钟不同步,一方面会造成相互之间的干扰, 网络 ISCP ( Interference Signal Code Power, 干扰信号码功率)会升高, 另一方面由于小区间不同步, 会导致小区 间切换的成功率大大下降, 这两个特性是时分***基站失步后的明显表现。  The TD-SCDMA system is a system that requires high synchronization accuracy. If the cell clocks between the base stations are not synchronized, interference between the two parties will occur, and the network ISCP (Interference Signal Code Power) will increase. On the other hand, due to the non-synchronization between cells, the success rate of inter-cell handover is greatly reduced. These two characteristics are obvious performances of the time-division system base station after the step-out.
因此, 为了进一步减少终端到基站距离不同可能会引入的测量误差,还可 以通过基站失步后的上述两种表现例如网络 ISCP和小区间切换的成功率作为 辅助条件, 以便更准确地判断基站是否真正失步。  Therefore, in order to further reduce the measurement error that may be introduced when the distance from the terminal to the base station is different, the above two performances such as the network ISCP and the inter-cell handover may be used as auxiliary conditions after the base station is out of synchronization, so as to more accurately determine whether the base station is Really lost.
假设确定出了失步的基站和未失步的基站,则在对失步的基站进行时钟校 准之前, 还可以进一步结合小区切换成功率和 /或干扰信号码功率从所述失步 基站中筛选出真正处于失步状态的基站, 以做更准确地判断,使得在对失步的 基站进行时钟校准时, 只对真正处于失步状态的基站进行时钟校准。 具体地, 可以有以下三种方案。  Assuming that the out-of-synchronization base station and the non-synchronized base station are determined, the cell handover success rate and/or the interference signal code power may be further filtered from the out-of-synchronization base station before the clock calibration of the out-of-synchronization base station is performed. The base station that is really out of sync is used to make a more accurate judgment, so that when the clock is calibrated for the out-of-synchronization base station, only the base station that is really in the out-of-synchronization state is clock-calibrated. Specifically, there are the following three options.
方案一: 通过小区切换成功率辅助判断基站失步  Solution 1: Determine the base station out of synchronization by the cell handover success rate
在该方案中, 可以设置门限参数: "切入成功率恶化相对门限"、 和 /或"切 出成功率恶化相对门限", 并且需要 以下处理:  In this scheme, the threshold parameters can be set: "cutting success rate deterioration relative threshold", and / or "cutting success rate deterioration relative threshold", and the following processing is required:
( 1 )针对所述失步基站中任意一个小区, 通过计数器统计该失步基站与 相邻小区的基站间切入和 /或切出成功率;  (1) counting, for any one of the out-of-synchronization base stations, a handover success rate and/or a cut-out success rate between the out-of-synchronization base station and the base station of the neighboring cell by using a counter;
( 2 )统计所述失步基站所属的 RNC 内所有基站间切换切入和 /或切出平 均成功率;  (2) counting the average handover success rate and/or the cut-out success rate between all the base stations in the RNC to which the out-of-synchronization base station belongs;
( 3 )如果所述失步基站与相邻小区的基站间切入成功率与所述 RNC内基 站间的切入平均成功率相对比值小于预设的"切入成功率恶化相对门限", 和 / 或所述失步基站与相邻小区的基站间切出成功率与所述 RNC内基站间的切出 平均成功率相对比值小于预设的"切出成功率恶化相对门限",则判定该基站真 正处于失步状态。 方案二: 通过 ISCP辅助判断基站失步 (3) if the ratio of the success rate of the handover between the out-of-synchronization base station and the base station of the adjacent cell to the average penetration success rate between the base stations in the RNC is less than a preset "cut-through success rate relative threshold", and/or Determining that the ratio of the cut-off success rate between the base station of the out-of-synchronization base station and the neighboring cell to the average of the cut-out average rate between the base stations in the RNC is less than a preset "cut-out success rate deterioration relative threshold", determining that the base station is actually in the Out of sync state. Option 2: Determine the base station out of synchronization through ISCP assistance
在该方案中, 可以设置门限参数: "ISCP恶化相对门限" , 并且需要做以 下处理:  In this scheme, the threshold parameter can be set: "ISCP Deterioration Relative Threshold" and the following processing is required:
( 1 )针对所述失步基站中任意一个小区,统计该小区各时隙 ISCP平均值; (1) counting, for any one of the out-of-synchronization base stations, an ISCP average value of each time slot of the cell;
( 2 )统计所述失步基站所属的 RNC内各时隙 ISCP平均值; (2) statistic the ISCP average value of each time slot in the RNC to which the out-of-synchronization base station belongs;
( 3 )如果所述 RNC内各时隙 ISCP平均值与所述小区的各时隙 ISCP平 均值相对比值小于预设的 "ISCP 恶化相对门限", 则判定所述失步基站真正处 于失步状态。  (3) determining that the out-of-synchronization base station is in an out-of-synchronization state if the ISCP average value of each time slot in the RNC and the ISCP average value of each time slot of the cell are smaller than a preset "ISCP deterioration relative threshold" .
方案三: 通过小区切换成功率和 ISCP综合辅助判断基站失步  Solution 3: Determine the base station out of synchronization through the cell handover success rate and ISCP comprehensive assistance
在该方案中,需要设置一个门限参数"综合恶化相对门限,,和一个比例因子 参数 "ISCP判断机制占比因子" , 并且需要做以下处理:  In this scheme, a threshold parameter "comprehensive deterioration relative threshold," and a scale factor parameter "ISCP judgment mechanism ratio factor" need to be set, and the following processing is required:
( 1 )针对失步基站中任意一个小区统计时隙 ISCP;  (1) counting time slot ISCP for any one of the out-of-synchronization base stations;
