Description

新载波类型小区的测量方法、 用户设备和基站 技术领域 本发明涉及通信技术领域, 尤其涉及一种新载波类型小区的测量方 法、 用户设备和基站。 背景技术  The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a measurement method, a user equipment, and a base station of a new carrier type cell. Background technique
在长期演进( Long Time Evolution; 以下简称: LTE ) ***中, 可以 在传统宏小区下配置新载波类型 (New Carrier Type; 以下简称: NCT ) 小区。 NCT小区可以独立地与用户设备( User Equipment; 以下简称: UE ) 完成信令交互, 不需借助宏小区来完成。 同时 NCT小区可以是一种离散 分布的小区, 即只在一个范围内的热点区域进行服务。 在这片区域中, 如 果 UE处于 NCT小区能覆盖的的热点区域, 则可接入 NCT小区被服务; 如果处于 NCT小区不能覆盖的的非热点区域, 则可以接入传统宏小区来 得到服务。  In the Long Time Evolution (LTE) system, a new carrier type (New Carrier Type; NCT) cell can be configured in a traditional macro cell. The NCT cell can independently perform signaling interaction with the user equipment (User Equipment; hereinafter referred to as UE) without using the macro cell. At the same time, the NCT cell can be a discretely distributed cell, that is, served only in a hotspot within a range. In this area, if the UE is in a hotspot area that the NCT cell can cover, the accessible NCT cell is served; if it is in a non-hotspot area that the NCT cell cannot cover, the traditional macro cell can be accessed to obtain the service.
NCT小区通过减小导频的数目, 节省频域资源; 且当 NCT小区覆盖 下没有或很少 UE需要被服务时能够转入睡眠状态, 节省了网络侧的能源 消耗。 由于这些优点, 使 NCT 小区成为了一种新的适用于热点区域通信 的部署方案。  The NCT cell saves the frequency domain resources by reducing the number of pilots; and when the NCT cell coverage has no or few UEs to be served, it can go to sleep state, which saves energy consumption on the network side. Due to these advantages, the NCT cell has become a new deployment solution for hotspot area communication.
现有技术中, NCT 小区的下行导频是以非连续发送 (Discontinuous Transmission; 以下简称: DTX )模式进行发送的 , 即 NCT小区周期性或 按照一定的模式发送下行导频。 因此, 当 UE接近或进入 NCT小区时, 可 能会进行不必要的检测或测量, 导致了 UE的电量浪费。 发明内容  In the prior art, the downlink pilot of the NCT cell is transmitted in a discontinuous transmission (DTX) mode, that is, the NCT cell periodically transmits the downlink pilot according to a certain mode. Therefore, when the UE approaches or enters the NCT cell, unnecessary detection or measurement may be performed, resulting in waste of power of the UE. Summary of the invention

The embodiments are a part of the embodiments of the invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.
图 1为本发明新载波类型小区的测量方法一个实施例的流程图, 如图 1所示, 该 NCT小区的测量方法可以包括:  1 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a method for measuring a new carrier type cell according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the measurement method of the NCT cell may include:
步骤 101 , UE接收该 UE的服务基站发送的 DTX模式信息, 该 DTX 模式信息为该 UE所在的服务小区的相邻 NCT小区的 DTX模式信息。  Step 101: The UE receives DTX mode information sent by the serving base station of the UE, where the DTX mode information is DTX mode information of a neighboring NCT cell of the serving cell where the UE is located.
本实施例中, 上述 DTX模式信息包括以下信息之一或其组合: 下行 导频的发送时间信息和下行导频的时频位置信息。  In this embodiment, the DTX mode information includes one or a combination of the following information: the transmission time information of the downlink pilot and the time-frequency position information of the downlink pilot.
具体地, UE接收该 UE的服务基站发送的 DTX模式信息可以为: 当 UE处于空闲态时, UE接收该 UE的服务基站通过广播消息广播的 DTX 模式信息; 或者, 当 UE处于连接态时, UE接收该 UE的服务基站通过广 播消息广播的 DTX模式信息, 或者接收上述 UE的服务基站通过无线资 源控制 ( Radio Resource Control; 以下简称: RRC )消息发送的 DTX模式 信息。  Specifically, the receiving, by the UE, the DTX mode information sent by the serving base station of the UE may be: when the UE is in the idle state, the UE receives the DTX mode information that is broadcast by the serving base station of the UE by using a broadcast message; or, when the UE is in the connected state, The UE receives the DTX mode information that the serving base station of the UE broadcasts through the broadcast message, or receives the DTX mode information that is sent by the serving base station of the UE by using a Radio Resource Control (hereinafter referred to as RRC) message.
其中, 上述 UE的服务基站发送的 DTX模式信息可以是相邻 NCT小 区的服务基站通过 X2接口发送给上述 UE的服务基站的; 或者, 上述 UE 的服务基站发送的 DTX模式信息可以是相邻 NCT小区的服务基站通过 S1 接口消息发送给相邻 NCT 小区的服务基站所属的第一移动管理实体The DTX mode information sent by the serving base station of the UE may be sent by the serving base station of the neighboring NCT cell to the serving base station of the UE by using the X2 interface; or, the foregoing UE The DTX mode information sent by the serving base station may be that the serving base station of the neighboring NCT cell sends the first mobility management entity to the serving base station of the neighboring NCT cell through the S1 interface message.
( Mobile Management Entity; 以下简称: MME ) , 再由第一 MME发送给 上述 UE的服务基站所属的第二 MME, 再由第二 MME通过 S1接口消息 发送给上述 UE的服务基站的, 可选的, 上述第一 MME和第二 MME可 以是相同的 MME, 也可以是不同的 MME; 或者, 上述 UE的服务基站发 送的 DTX 模式信息可以是上述 UE 的服务基站通过操作维护管理(Mobile Management Entity; hereinafter referred to as: MME), and then sent by the first MME to the second MME to which the serving base station of the UE belongs, and then sent by the second MME to the serving base station of the UE through the S1 interface message, optionally The first MME and the second MME may be the same MME, or may be different MMEs; or the DTX mode information sent by the serving base station of the UE may be the service base station of the UE through operation and maintenance management.
( Operation Administration and Maintenance; 以下简称: OAM ) 方式获得 的。 (Operation Administration and Maintenance; hereinafter referred to as OAM).
当然以上仅是上述 UE的服务基站获得 DTX模式信息的几种示例, 本发明实施例并不仅限于此, 本发明实施例对上述 UE 的服务基站获得 D TX模式信息的方式不作限定。  Of course, the above is only a few examples of the DTX mode information obtained by the serving base station of the UE. The embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto. The manner in which the serving base station of the UE obtains the D TX mode information is not limited.
步骤 102, UE根据上述 DTX模式信息对相邻 NCT小区进行测量。 具体地, UE可以根据上述 DTX模式信息获得相邻 NCT小区的下行 导频的发送时间, 在上述下行导频的发送时间对相邻 NCT小区进行测量; 或者, UE可以根据上述 DTX模式信息获得相邻 NCT小区的下行导频的 时频位置, 在上述下行导频的时频位置对相邻 NCT小区进行测量; 或者, UE可以根据上述 DTX模式信息获得相邻 NCT小区的下行导频的发送时 间和时频位置, 在上述下行导频的发送时间和时频位置对相邻 NCT 小区 进行测量。  Step 102: The UE performs measurement on the neighboring NCT cell according to the foregoing DTX mode information. Specifically, the UE may obtain the transmission time of the downlink pilot of the neighboring NCT cell according to the foregoing DTX mode information, and measure the neighboring NCT cell at the transmission time of the downlink pilot; or, the UE may obtain the phase according to the DTX mode information. The time-frequency position of the downlink pilot of the neighboring NCT cell is measured by the time-frequency position of the downlink pilot, and the UE may obtain the downlink pilot transmission time of the neighboring NCT cell according to the DTX mode information. And the time-frequency position, the adjacent NCT cell is measured at the transmission time and the time-frequency position of the downlink pilot.
举例来说, 当服务基站只发送下行导频的发送时间信息, 即 DTX模 式信息包括下行导频的发送时间信息, 而不包括下行导频的时频位置信息 时, UE 在指示的时间去特定的时频位置去接收导频, 该特定的时频位置 可以由协议固定或按一定规则获取。 当服务基站只发送下行导频的时频位 置信息, 即 DTX模式信息包括下行导频的时频位置信息, 而不包括下行 导频的发送时间信息时, U E在特定的时间去指示的时频位置去接收导频, 该特定的时间可以由协议固定或按一定规则获取。 当服务基站同时发送下 行导频的发送时间信息和下行导频的时频位置信息, 即 DTX模式信息同 时包括下行导频的发送时间信息和下行导频的时频位置信息时, UE 在指 示的时间去指示的位置去接收导频。 上述实施例中, UE接收该 UE 的服务基站发送的相邻 NCT 小区的 DTX模式信息, 从而该 UE可以获知相邻 NCT小区的下行导频的相关信 息, 然后 UE根据该 DTX模式信息对相邻 NCT小区进行测量, 从而可以 避免由于不必要测量造成的电量浪费, 节省 UE的电量。 For example, when the serving base station only transmits the transmission time information of the downlink pilot, that is, the DTX mode information includes the transmission time information of the downlink pilot, and does not include the time-frequency position information of the downlink pilot, the UE specifies the time at the indicated time. The time-frequency position is used to receive the pilot, and the specific time-frequency position can be fixed by the protocol or according to certain rules. When the serving base station only transmits the time-frequency position information of the downlink pilot, that is, the DTX mode information includes the time-frequency position information of the downlink pilot, and does not include the transmission time information of the downlink pilot, the time-frequency indicated by the UE at a specific time The location is to receive the pilot, and the specific time can be fixed by the protocol or according to certain rules. When the serving base station simultaneously transmits the transmission time information of the downlink pilot and the time-frequency position information of the downlink pilot, that is, the DTX mode information includes the transmission time information of the downlink pilot and the time-frequency position information of the downlink pilot, the UE is instructed. Time to go to the indicated location to receive the pilot. In the above embodiment, the UE receives the DTX mode information of the neighboring NCT cell sent by the serving base station of the UE, so that the UE can obtain the related information of the downlink pilot of the neighboring NCT cell, and then the UE pairs the neighbor according to the DTX mode information. The NCT cell performs measurement, thereby avoiding waste of power due to unnecessary measurement and saving power of the UE.
请继续参考图 2, 图 2为本发明新载波类型小区的测量方法另一个实 施例的流程图, 如图 2所示, 可选的, 以上 NCT小区的测量方法还可以 包括:  With reference to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a flowchart of another embodiment of a method for measuring a new carrier type cell according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the measurement method of the above NCT cell may further include:
步骤 201 , UE接收该 UE的服务基站发送的上述相邻 NCT小区的测 量参数。  Step 201: The UE receives a measurement parameter of the neighboring NCT cell sent by the serving base station of the UE.
步骤 202, UE根据对相邻 NCT小区的测量结果与所接收到的测量参 数, 向相邻 NCT小区发送指示信息, 该指示信息用于指示相邻 NCT小区 进行激活操作。  Step 202: The UE sends indication information to the neighboring NCT cell according to the measurement result of the neighboring NCT cell and the received measurement parameter, where the indication information is used to indicate that the neighboring NCT cell performs an activation operation.
如此, 当 NCT小区处于睡眠状态时, UE进入该 NCT小区, 可以通 过指示信息指示该 NCT小区进行激活操作, 从而解决了睡眠态 NCT小区 无法对进入该 NCT小区的 UE进行服务的问题。  In this way, when the NCT cell is in the sleep state, the UE enters the NCT cell, and the indication information indicates that the NCT cell performs an activation operation, thereby solving the problem that the sleep state NCT cell cannot serve the UE entering the NCT cell.
需要说明的是, 以上步骤 201与步骤 101和 102之间没有顺序限制, 即可以先接收 DTX模式信息, 也可以先接收测量参数, 还可以同时接收 DTX模式信息和测量参数。 此外, 还可以步骤 102之后, 即在完成对相邻 NCT小区测量之后, 再接收测量参数。 本发明实施例不做任何限制。  It should be noted that there is no order limitation between the above step 201 and steps 101 and 102, that is, the DTX mode information may be received first, or the measurement parameters may be received first, and the DTX mode information and the measurement parameters may be simultaneously received. In addition, measurement parameters may be received after step 102, i.e., after completion of measurements on neighboring NCT cells. The embodiment of the invention does not impose any limitation.

The foregoing indication information is sent, for example, a periodic transmission, an event trigger, or a one-time transmission, and the like, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present invention. The sending condition of the indication information is used to notify the UE under what conditions to send the indication information, for example, the UE is in the pair. When the measurement result of the neighboring NCT cell satisfies the transmission condition, the UE sends the indication information to the neighboring NCT cell.
举例来说,测量参数可以包括指示信息和指示信息的发送条件。此时, 以上步骤 202包括:当 UE对相邻 NCT小区的测量结果满足上述指示信息 的发送条件时, UE将指示信息发送给相邻 NCT小区, 以便相邻 NCT小 区根据上述 UE发送的指示信息进行小区激活操作。 进一步地, 如果测量 参数包括上述指示信息的发送方式, 则 UE按照上述指示信息的发送方式 将上述指示信息发送给相邻 NCT 小区。 当然, 测量参数也可以仅包括指 示信息, 而将指示信息的发送条件和发送方式预设于 UE侧, 或者也可以 由协议固定或按一定规则获取; 或者测量参数包括指示信息、 指示信息的 发送条件和指示信息的发送方式之一, 其他未包括的信息预设于 UE侧, 或者也可以由协议固定或按一定规则获取。 For example, the measurement parameters may include indication information and transmission conditions of the indication information. At this time, the above step 202 includes: when the measurement result of the neighboring NCT cell by the UE meets the foregoing indication information The UE sends the indication information to the neighboring NCT cell, so that the neighboring NCT cell performs the cell activation operation according to the indication information sent by the UE. Further, if the measurement parameter includes the foregoing transmission manner of the indication information, the UE sends the indication information to the neighboring NCT cell according to the manner of sending the indication information. Certainly, the measurement parameter may also include only the indication information, and the transmission condition and the transmission mode of the indication information are preset on the UE side, or may be obtained by a protocol fixed or according to a certain rule; or the measurement parameter includes the indication information and the transmission of the indication information.

再如, 测量参数可以包括指示信息和指示信息的资源信息之一, 或同 时包括指示信息和指示信息的资源信息。 也就是说, 服务基站可以仅通知 UE待发送的指示信息是什么, 从而 UE 可以利用该指示信息对应的资源 发送指示信息; 服务基站也可以仅通知 UE发送指示信息使用的资源是什 么, 从而 UE便可以根据该资源信息确定待发送的指示信息是什么, 进而 利用该资源发送指示信息; 当然, 服务基站也可以同时通知 UE待发送的 指示信息以及发送使用的资源, 如此 UE便可以在通知的资源上发送指示 信息。  For another example, the measurement parameter may include one of resource information indicating information and indication information, or resource information including indication information and indication information. That is, the serving base station may only notify the UE of the indication information to be sent, so that the UE may use the resource corresponding to the indication information to send the indication information; the serving base station may also only notify the UE to send the resource indicating the information used, so that the UE The indication information to be sent is determined according to the resource information, and the indication information is sent by using the resource. The serving base station can also notify the UE of the indication information to be sent and the resource used for sending, so that the UE can be notified. The indication information is sent on the resource.
举例来说, 当待发送的指示信息为随机接入码时, 服务基站可以通知 UE待发送的指示信息为随机接入码 (即测量参数包括指示信息) , 或者 通知 UE发送指示信息使用的资源是随机接入资源 (即测量参数包括指示 信息的资源信息 ) ; 或者同时通知 UE待发送的指示信息是随机接入码以 及发送指示信息使用的资源是随机接入资源(即测量参数同时包括指示信 息和指示信息的资源信息) , 此时, 将指示信息发送给相邻 NCT 小区可 以为: UE通过上述随机接入资源将上述随机接入码发送给相邻 NCT小区。  For example, when the indication information to be sent is a random access code, the serving base station may notify the UE that the indication information to be sent is a random access code (ie, the measurement parameter includes indication information), or notify the UE to send the resource indicating the information used. Is a random access resource (that is, the measurement parameter includes the resource information of the indication information); or simultaneously notifying the UE that the indication information to be sent is a random access code, and the resource used for transmitting the indication information is a random access resource (ie, the measurement parameter includes the indication The resource information of the information and the indication information. At this time, the sending of the indication information to the neighboring NCT cell may be: the UE sends the random access code to the neighboring NCT cell by using the random access resource.
当上述待发送的指示信息为调度请求( Scheduling Request; 以下简称: SR ) 时, 测量参数可以包括 SR信息和 /或 SR资源; 此时, 将指示信息发 送给相邻 NCT小区可以为: UE通过 SR资源将 SR发送给相邻 NCT小区。  When the indication information to be sent is a Scheduling Request (hereinafter referred to as SR), the measurement parameter may include the SR information and/or the SR resource. In this case, sending the indication information to the neighboring NCT cell may be: The SR resource sends the SR to the neighboring NCT cell.
当上述待发送的指示信息为侦听参考信号 ( Sounding Reference Signalling; 以下简称: SRS ) 时, 测量参数可以包括 SRS信息和 /或 SRS 资源, 此时, 将指示信息发送给相邻 NCT小区可以为: UE通过 SRS资源 将 SRS发送给相邻 NCT小区。 当上述待发送的指示信息为其它形式的上行信息时, UE 通过上述其 它形式的上行信息对应的上行资源将指示信息(上行指示信令)发送给相 邻 NCT小区。 When the indication information to be sent is a Sounding Reference Signaling (SRS), the measurement parameter may include SRS information and/or SRS resources. At this time, sending the indication information to the neighboring NCT cell may be : The UE sends the SRS to the neighboring NCT cell through the SRS resource. When the indication information to be sent is the other type of uplink information, the UE sends the indication information (uplink indication signaling) to the neighboring NCT cell by using the uplink resource corresponding to the other type of uplink information.
总之, 测量参数可以包括以上信息中的一个或多个, 如果存在需要使 用而未包括在测量参数中的信息可以预设于 UE侧, 或者也可以由协议固 定或按一定规则获取。 另外, 测量参数也可以同时包括以上所有信息。 本 发明实施例不做任何限制。  In summary, the measurement parameters may include one or more of the above information, and if there is a need to use the information not included in the measurement parameters, the information may be preset on the UE side, or may be fixed by the protocol or acquired according to a certain rule. In addition, the measurement parameters can also include all of the above information. The embodiment of the invention does not impose any limitation.
另外, 上述 DTX模式信息还可以包括 NCT小区的状态信息, 用于指 示 NCT小区是否处于睡眠态。 如此, UE得知在 NCT小区处于睡眠态时, 才根据测量参数发送指示信息, 可以节约资源。 当然, UE 也可以无需知 道该 NCT 小区的状态信息, 从指示信息的发送条件上实现是否发送指示 信息的判断。  In addition, the foregoing DTX mode information may further include status information of the NCT cell, and is used to indicate whether the NCT cell is in a sleep state. In this way, the UE knows that when the NCT cell is in the sleep state, the UE sends the indication information according to the measurement parameter, which can save resources. Of course, the UE may also determine whether to send the indication information from the transmission condition of the indication information without knowing the status information of the NCT cell.
进一步地, 本实施例中, 当 NCT小区处于激活态时, UE还可以接收 处于该 NCT小区的服务基站发送的 RRC重配置命令; 从而根据该 RRC 重配置命令开启上报功率喜好指示(Power Preference Indicator; 以下简称: PPI ) 的功能, 向处于激活态的 NCT小区的服务基站上报 PPI, 该 PPI的 值用于表示 "正常" 或 "省电" ; 以便处于激活态的 NCT 小区的服务基 站在上述 UE上报的 PPI的值表示省电时, 将上述 UE配置为省电状态, 例如, 当 UE上报了省电指示后, NCT小区的服务基站可以为其配置更长 的非连续接收( Discontinuous Receive; 以下简称: DRX )周期或译放 RRC 连接等。  Further, in this embodiment, when the NCT cell is in an active state, the UE may further receive an RRC reconfiguration command sent by the serving base station of the NCT cell; and then enable a power preference indicator according to the RRC reconfiguration command. The function of the following (PPI) is to report the PPI to the serving base station of the NCT cell in the active state, the value of the PPI is used to indicate "normal" or "power saving"; so that the serving base station of the NCT cell in the active state is above The value of the PPI reported by the UE indicates that the UE is configured to be in a power-saving state when the power is saved. For example, after the UE reports the power-saving indication, the serving base station of the NCT cell can configure a longer discontinuous reception (Discontinuous Receive; Hereinafter referred to as: DRX) cycle or translation RRC connection.
另外, 当上报省电指示的 UE达到一定比例时, 上述 NCT小区的服务 基站也可以将 UE切换到相邻小区,从而使 NCT小区进入睡眠状态。例如, 当 NCT小区的服务基站确定预定时间长度内值表示 "省电" 的 PPI的数 量大于值表示 "正常" 的 PPI的数量, 且值表示 "省电" 的 PPI的数量与 值表示 "正常" 的 PPI的数量之差大于或等于预设阈值时, NCT小区的服 务基站进入睡眠状态, 并将上述 NCT小区服务的 UE切换回宏小区。  In addition, when the UE reporting the power saving indication reaches a certain proportion, the serving base station of the NCT cell may also switch the UE to the neighboring cell, so that the NCT cell enters a sleep state. For example, when the serving base station of the NCT cell determines that the value of the "power saving" PPI is greater than the value indicating the "normal" PPI, and the value indicates that the "power saving" PPI number and value indicate "normal" When the difference between the number of PPIs is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, the serving base station of the NCT cell enters a sleep state, and the UE served by the NCT cell is switched back to the macro cell.
或者, 当上报省电指示的 UE的数量占连接态 UE总数的比例大于或 等于预设比例值时, NCT 小区的服务基站进入睡眠状态, 并将上述 NCT 小区服务的 UE切换回宏小区。 上述实施例中, UE接收该 UE 的服务基站发送的相邻 NCT 小区的 DTX模式信息, 从而该 UE可以获知相邻 NCT小区的下行导频的相关信 息, 然后 UE根据该 DTX模式信息对相邻 NCT小区进行测量, 从而可以 避免由于不必要测量造成的电量浪费, 节省 UE的电量。 Or, when the ratio of the number of UEs reporting the power saving indication to the total number of connected UEs is greater than or equal to a preset ratio, the serving base station of the NCT cell enters a sleep state, and the UE served by the NCT cell is switched back to the macro cell. In the above embodiment, the UE receives the DTX mode information of the neighboring NCT cell sent by the serving base station of the UE, so that the UE can obtain the related information of the downlink pilot of the neighboring NCT cell, and then the UE pairs the neighbor according to the DTX mode information. The NCT cell performs measurement, thereby avoiding waste of power due to unnecessary measurement and saving power of the UE.

Specifically, the UE may obtain the transmission time of the downlink pilot of the neighboring NCT cell according to the foregoing DTX mode information, and measure the neighboring NCT cell at the transmission time of the downlink pilot; or, the UE may obtain the phase according to the DTX mode information. Measure the time-frequency position of the downlink pilot of the neighboring NCT cell, and measure the neighboring NCT cell at the time-frequency position of the downlink pilot; or The UE may obtain the transmission time and the time-frequency position of the downlink pilot of the neighboring NCT cell according to the foregoing DTX mode information, and measure the neighboring NCT cell at the transmission time and the time-frequency position of the downlink pilot.
举例来说, 当服务基站只发送下行导频的发送时间信息, 即 DTX模 式信息包括下行导频的发送时间信息, 而不包括下行导频的时频位置信息 时, UE 在指示的时间去特定的时频位置去接收导频, 该特定的时频位置 可以由协议固定或按一定规则获取。 当服务基站只发送下行导频的时频位 置信息, 即 DTX模式信息包括下行导频的时频位置信息, 而不包括下行 导频的发送时间信息时, U E在特定的时间去指示的时频位置去接收导频, 该特定的时间可以由协议固定或按一定规则获取。 当服务基站同时发送下 行导频的发送时间信息和下行导频的时频位置信息, 即 DTX模式信息同 时包括下行导频的发送时间信息和下行导频的时频位置信息时, UE 在指 示的时间去指示的位置去接收导频。  For example, when the serving base station only transmits the transmission time information of the downlink pilot, that is, the DTX mode information includes the transmission time information of the downlink pilot, and does not include the time-frequency position information of the downlink pilot, the UE specifies the time at the indicated time. The time-frequency position is used to receive the pilot, and the specific time-frequency position can be fixed by the protocol or according to certain rules. When the serving base station only transmits the time-frequency position information of the downlink pilot, that is, the DTX mode information includes the time-frequency position information of the downlink pilot, and does not include the transmission time information of the downlink pilot, the time-frequency indicated by the UE at a specific time The location is to receive the pilot, and the specific time can be fixed by the protocol or according to certain rules. When the serving base station simultaneously transmits the transmission time information of the downlink pilot and the time-frequency position information of the downlink pilot, that is, the DTX mode information includes the transmission time information of the downlink pilot and the time-frequency position information of the downlink pilot, the UE is instructed. Time to go to the indicated location to receive the pilot.
进一步地, 对相邻 NCT小区进行测量之后, 对于空闲态 UE来说, 如 果对相邻 NCT小区的测量结果满足小区重选条件,则 UE重选到上述相邻 NCT小区。  Further, after performing measurement on the neighboring NCT cell, for the idle state UE, if the measurement result of the neighboring NCT cell satisfies the cell reselection condition, the UE reselects to the neighboring NCT cell.
对于连接态 UE来说,如果对相邻 NCT小区的测量结果满足测量上报 条件, 则 UE上报测量结果, 辅助该 UE的服务基站进行切换判决。  For the connected UE, if the measurement result of the neighboring NCT cell satisfies the measurement reporting condition, the UE reports the measurement result, and assists the serving base station of the UE to perform the handover decision.
其中, 该 UE的服务小区可以为宏小区、 微小区或者微微小区, 还可 以是 NCT小区, 也可以是传统小区, 在此不做限定。  The serving cell of the UE may be a macro cell, a micro cell, or a pico cell, and may be an NCT cell or a traditional cell, which is not limited herein.
本实施例的一种实现方式中, 上述 UE的服务基站发送的 DTX模式 信息可以是上述 NCT小区的服务基站通过 X2接口 (即 NCT小区的服务 基站与上述 UE的服务基站之间的接口)发送给上述 UE的服务基站的。 具体地, 可以通过设计新的 X2接口消息, 或者在原有的 X2接口消息中 增加新的信元来实现 DTX模式信息的传递。一种具体的实现方式可以为, 上述 NCT小区的服务基站通过 X2接口消息, (例如:基站配置更新消息, 该基站配置更新消息包含上述 NCT小区的 DTX模式信息 ) 将上述 NCT 小区的 DTX模式信息通知该 UE的服务基站,该 UE的服务基站接收到上 述 NCT小区的服务基站发送的 NCT小区的 DTX模式信息之后, 通过 X2 接口消息 (例如: 基站配置更新确认消息) 向上述 NCT 小区的服务基站 确认。 In an implementation manner of this embodiment, the DTX mode information sent by the serving base station of the UE may be sent by the serving base station of the NCT cell by using an X2 interface, that is, an interface between a serving base station of the NCT cell and a serving base station of the UE. To the serving base station of the above UE. Specifically, the DTX mode information can be transmitted by designing a new X2 interface message or adding a new cell to the original X2 interface message. A specific implementation manner may be that the serving base station of the NCT cell passes the X2 interface message, for example, the base station configuration update message, where the base station configuration update message includes the DTX mode information of the NCT cell, and the DTX mode information of the NCT cell. Notifying the serving base station of the UE, after receiving the DTX mode information of the NCT cell sent by the serving base station of the NCT cell, the serving base station of the UE sends an X2 interface message (for example, a base station configuration update acknowledgement message) to the serving base station of the NCT cell. Confirmation.
本实施例的另一种实现方式中, 上述 UE的服务基站发送的 DTX模 式信息可以是上述 NCT小区的服务基站通过 S1接口消息通知给该 NCT 小区的服务基站所属的第一 MME,然后由第一 MME发送给该 UE的服务 基站所属的第二 MME, 然后再由第二 MME通过 S1接口消息发送给上述 UE的服务基站。 上述 UE的服务基站可以通过其与第二 MME之间的 S1 接口向第二 MME发送确认消息 , 然后第二 MME向第一 MME发送确认 消息, 第一 MME可以通过其与 NCT小区的月良务基站之间的 S 1接口向该 NCT小区的服务基站发送确认消息。 特别地, 当 NCT小区的服务基站与 该 UE的服务基站所属的 MME相同时, 即第一 MME和第二 MME是同 一个 MME时, 上述 MME之间的消息可以省略。  In another implementation manner of the embodiment, the DTX mode information sent by the serving base station of the UE may be the first MME to which the serving base station of the NCT cell is notified by the S1 interface message to the serving base station of the NCT cell, and then The second MME to which the MME sends the MME to the serving base station, and then sent by the second MME to the serving base station of the UE through the S1 interface message. The serving base station of the UE may send an acknowledgment message to the second MME through the S1 interface between the UE and the second MME, and then the second MME sends an acknowledgment message to the first MME, where the first MME may pass the monthly service with the NCT cell. The S1 interface between the base stations sends an acknowledgement message to the serving base station of the NCT cell. In particular, when the serving eNB of the NCT cell is the same as the MME to which the serving base station of the UE belongs, that is, when the first MME and the second MME are the same MME, the message between the MMEs may be omitted.
本实施例的再一种实现方式中, 上述 UE的服务基站发送的 DTX模 式信息可以是上述 UE的服务基站通过 OAM方式获得的。  In still another implementation manner of this embodiment, the DTX mode information sent by the serving base station of the UE may be obtained by the serving base station of the UE by using an OAM manner.
上述实施例可以使 UE获知相邻 NCT小区的下行导频的相关信息,避 免由于在非下行导频发送时间执行测量而造成的电量浪费, 节省 UE的电 量。  The foregoing embodiment can enable the UE to learn the related information of the downlink pilot of the neighboring NCT cell, avoid waste of power caused by performing measurement at the non-downlink pilot transmission time, and save power of the UE.
图 6为本发明新载波类型小区的测量方法再一个实施例的流程图, 如 图 6所示, 该 NCT小区的测量方法可以包括:  FIG. 6 is a flowchart of still another embodiment of a method for measuring a new carrier type cell according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6, the measurement method of the NCT cell may include:
步骤 601 , UE接收该 UE的服务基站发送的相邻 NCT小区的测量参 数。  Step 601: The UE receives measurement parameters of a neighboring NCT cell sent by the serving base station of the UE.
需要说明的是, 以上步骤 601与步骤 501和 502之间没有顺序限制, 即可以先接收 DTX模式信息, 也可以先接收测量参数, 还可以同时接收 DTX模式信息和测量参数。 此外, 还可以步骤 502之后, 即在完成对相邻 NCT小区测量之后, 再接收测量参数。 本发明实施例不做任何限制。  It should be noted that there is no order limitation between the above steps 601 and steps 501 and 502, that is, the DTX mode information may be received first, or the measurement parameters may be received first, and the DTX mode information and the measurement parameters may be simultaneously received. In addition, measurement parameters may be received after step 502, i.e., after completion of measurements on neighboring NCT cells. The embodiment of the invention does not impose any limitation.
其中, 上述测量参数包括以下信息中的一个或多个: 上述指示信息、 上述指示信息的资源信息、 上述指示信息的发送方式和上述指示信息的发 送条件。 其中, 该指示信息用于通知 UE待发送的指示信息的类型; 上述 指示信息的资源信息用于通知 UE发送上述指示信息所使用的资源; 上述 指示信息的发送方式用于通知 UE釆用什么方式发送上述指示信息,例如: 周期发送、 事件触发或者一次性发送等, 本发明实施例对此不作限定; 上 述指示信息的发送条件用于通知 UE在什么条件下发送指示信息, 例如: UE在对相邻 NCT小区的测量结果满足该发送条件时, UE会向相邻 NCT 小区发送指示信息。 The measurement parameter includes one or more of the following information: the indication information, the resource information of the indication information, the transmission manner of the indication information, and the transmission condition of the indication information. The indication information is used to notify the UE of the type of the indication information to be sent. The resource information of the indication information is used to notify the UE to use the resource used by the indication information. The foregoing indication information is sent, for example, a periodic transmission, an event trigger, or a one-time transmission, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present invention; The sending condition of the indication information is used to notify the UE of the indication information under what conditions, for example, the UE sends the indication information to the neighboring NCT cell when the measurement result of the neighboring NCT cell satisfies the transmission condition.
具体地, 该 UE的服务基站可以通过***广播消息向 UE发送上述测 量参数; 对于处于连接态的 UE, 该 UE的服务基站也可以通过 RRC消息 将上述测量参数发送给处于连接态的 UE, 可选地, 当处于连接态的 UE 通过 RRC消息接收到上述测量参数之后,该处于连接态的 UE向该 UE的 服务基站发送完成消息。  Specifically, the serving base station of the UE may send the foregoing measurement parameter to the UE by using a system broadcast message. For the UE in the connected state, the serving base station of the UE may also send the measurement parameter to the UE in the connected state by using an RRC message. Optionally, after the UE in the connected state receives the foregoing measurement parameter by using an RRC message, the UE in the connected state sends a completion message to the serving base station of the UE.
具体地, 该 UE的服务基站发送测量参数所釆用的消息可以是新设计 的消息, 也可以是在现有消息中增加新的信元 ( Information Element; 以 下简称: IE ) 。 可选地, 部分或全部测量参数也可以釆用其他方式通知 UE, 比如协议固定, 本发明对测量参数的发送方式不作限定。  Specifically, the message used by the serving base station of the UE to send the measurement parameter may be a newly designed message, or a new information element (hereinafter referred to as IE) may be added to the existing message. Optionally, some or all of the measurement parameters may also be used to notify the UE in other manners, for example, the protocol is fixed, and the present invention does not limit the manner in which the measurement parameters are sent.
步骤 602, UE对相邻 NCT小区进行测量。  Step 602: The UE performs measurement on a neighboring NCT cell.
其中, UE可以根据预设的测量策略对相邻 NCT小区进行测量, 也可 以在上述测量参数中携带需要 UE测量的参数信息, 从而使 UE根据需要 测量的参数信息进行测量。  The UE may perform measurement on the neighboring NCT cell according to the preset measurement policy, and may also carry parameter information that needs to be measured by the UE in the foregoing measurement parameter, so that the UE performs measurement according to the parameter information that needs to be measured.
步骤 603 , 如果确定 UE对相邻 NCT小区的测量结果满足指示信息的 发送条件, 则该 UE向相邻 NCT小区发送指示信息。  Step 603: If it is determined that the measurement result of the neighboring NCT cell meets the sending condition of the indication information, the UE sends the indication information to the neighboring NCT cell.
举例来说,测量参数可以包括指示信息和指示信息的发送条件。此时, 以上步骤 603包括:当 UE对相邻 NCT小区的测量结果满足上述指示信息 的发送条件时, UE将指示信息发送给相邻 NCT小区, 以便相邻 NCT小 区根据上述 UE发送的指示信息进行小区激活操作。 进一步地, 如果测量 参数包括上述指示信息的发送方式, 则 UE按照上述指示信息的发送方式 将上述指示信息发送给相邻 NCT 小区。 当然, 测量参数也可以仅包括指 示信息, 而将指示信息的发送条件和发送方式预设于 UE侧, 或者也可以 由协议固定或按一定规则获取; 或者测量参数包括指示信息、 指示信息的 发送条件和指示信息的发送方式之一, 其他未包括的信息预设于 UE侧, 或者也可以由协议固定或按一定规则获取。  For example, the measurement parameters may include indication information and transmission conditions of the indication information. At this time, the above step 603 includes: when the measurement result of the neighboring NCT cell meets the sending condition of the indication information, the UE sends the indication information to the neighboring NCT cell, so that the neighboring NCT cell sends the indication information according to the UE. Perform a cell activation operation. Further, if the measurement parameter includes the sending manner of the indication information, the UE sends the indication information to the neighboring NCT cell according to the manner of sending the indication information. Certainly, the measurement parameter may also include only the indication information, and the transmission condition and the transmission mode of the indication information are preset on the UE side, or may be obtained by a protocol fixed or according to a certain rule; or the measurement parameter includes the indication information and the transmission of the indication information. One of the conditions for sending the condition and indication information, other information not included is preset on the UE side, or may be fixed by the protocol or according to certain rules.
再如, 测量参数可以包括指示信息和指示信息的资源信息之一, 或同 时包括指示信息和指示信息的资源信息。 也就是说, 服务基站可以仅通知 UE待发送的指示信息是什么, 从而 UE可以利用该指示信息对应的资源 发送指示信息; 服务基站也可以仅通知 UE发送指示信息使用的资源是什 么, 从而 UE便可以根据该资源信息确定待发送的指示信息是什么, 进而 利用该资源发送指示信息; 当然, 服务基站也可以同时通知 UE待发送的 指示信息以及发送使用的资源, 如此 UE便可以在通知的资源上发送指示 信息。 For another example, the measurement parameter may include one of resource information indicating information and indication information, or resource information including both indication information and indication information. That is, the serving base station can only notify What is the indication information to be sent by the UE, so that the UE can use the resource corresponding to the indication information to send the indication information; the serving base station can also only notify the UE to send the resource indicating the information used, so that the UE can determine to be sent according to the resource information. The indication information is used to transmit the indication information by using the resource; of course, the serving base station can also notify the UE of the indication information to be sent and the resource used for transmission, so that the UE can send the indication information on the notified resource.
举例来说, 当待发送的指示信息为随机接入码时, 服务基站可以通知 UE待发送的指示信息为随机接入码 (即测量参数包括指示信息) , 或者 通知 UE发送指示信息使用的资源是随机接入资源 (即测量参数包括指示 信息的资源信息) ; 或者同时通知 UE待发送的指示信息是随机接入码以 及发送指示信息使用的资源是随机接入资源(即测量参数同时包括指示信 息和指示信息的资源信息) ; 此时, UE 可以通过上述随机接入资源将上 述随机接入码发送给相邻 NCT小区。  For example, when the indication information to be sent is a random access code, the serving base station may notify the UE that the indication information to be sent is a random access code (ie, the measurement parameter includes indication information), or notify the UE to send the resource indicating the information used. Is a random access resource (that is, the measurement parameter includes the resource information of the indication information); or simultaneously notifying the UE that the indication information to be sent is a random access code, and the resource used for transmitting the indication information is a random access resource (ie, the measurement parameter includes the indication The resource information of the information and the indication information); At this time, the UE may send the random access code to the neighboring NCT cell by using the random access resource.
当上述待发送的指示信息为 SR时, 测量参数可以包括 SR信息和 /或 SR资源; 此时, UE可以通过 SR资源将 SR发送给相邻 NCT小区。  When the indication information to be sent is an SR, the measurement parameter may include SR information and/or SR resources; at this time, the UE may send the SR to the neighboring NCT cell by using the SR resource.
当上述待发送的指示信息为 SRS时, 测量参数可以包括 SRS信息和 / 或 SRS资源,此时, UE可以通过 SRS资源将 SRS发送给相邻 NCT小区。  When the indication information to be sent is the SRS, the measurement parameter may include the SRS information and/or the SRS resource. In this case, the UE may send the SRS to the neighboring NCT cell by using the SRS resource.
当上述待发送的指示信息为其它形式的上行信息时, UE 通过上述其 它形式的上行信息对应的上行资源将指示信息(上行指示信令)发送给相 邻 NCT小区。  When the indication information to be sent is other forms of uplink information, the UE sends the indication information (uplink indication signaling) to the neighboring NCT cell by using the uplink resource corresponding to the uplink information of the other form.
总之, 测量参数可以包括以上信息中的一个或多个, 如果存在需要使 用而未包括在测量参数中的信息可以预设于 U E侧, 或者也可以由协议固 定或按一定规则获取。 另外, 测量参数也可以同时包括以上所有信息。 本 发明实施例不做任何限制。  In summary, the measurement parameters may include one or more of the above information, and if there is a need to use the information that is not included in the measurement parameters, it may be preset on the U E side, or may be fixed by the protocol or acquired according to certain rules. In addition, the measurement parameters can also include all of the above information. The embodiment of the invention does not impose any limitation.
本实施例中, 上述指示信息的发送条件可以为相邻小区的信号指令达 到门限值, 当然, 这只是上述指示信息的发送条件的一个示例, 本发明并 不仅限于此, 本发明对上述指示信息的发送条件不作限定。  In this embodiment, the sending condition of the indication information may be that the signal command of the neighboring cell reaches the threshold. Of course, this is only an example of the sending condition of the indication information, and the present invention is not limited thereto. The conditions for transmitting the information are not limited.
可选地, 上述指示信息的资源信息可以是 NCT 小区的服务基站通过 与该 UE的服务基站之间的 X2接口消息发送给该 UE的服务基站的, 也 可以是 NCT小区的服务基站经过 MME通过 S1接口转发给该 UE的服务 基站的, 也可以通过 OAM方式获得, 具体方法与本发明图 5所示实施例 中发送 DTX模式信息的方式类似, 在此不做赘述。 Optionally, the resource information of the foregoing indication information may be that the serving base station of the NCT cell sends the information to the serving base station of the UE through an X2 interface message with the serving base station of the UE, or the serving base station of the NCT cell passes the MME. The service forwarded by the S1 interface to the UE The method for transmitting the DTX mode information in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 is similar to that of the base station, and is not described here.
可选的, 上述测量参数中的一项或多项可以是 NCT 小区的服务基站 通过与该 UE的服务基站之间的 X2接口消息发送给该 UE的服务基站的, 也可以是 NCT小区的服务基站经过 MME通过 S1接口转发给该 UE的服 务基站的, 也可以通过 OAM方式获得, 具体方法与本发明图 5所示实施 例中发送 DTX模式信息的方式类似, 在此不做赘述。  Optionally, one or more of the foregoing measurement parameters may be sent by the serving base station of the NCT cell to the serving base station of the UE by using an X2 interface message with the serving base station of the UE, or may be a service of the NCT cell. The manner in which the base station is forwarded to the serving base station of the UE through the MME through the S1 interface is also obtained by the OAM. The specific method is similar to the method for transmitting the DTX mode information in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 of the present invention, and details are not described herein.
步骤 604, 相邻 NCT小区接收到 UE发送的上述指示信息之后, 相邻 NCT小区可以根据上述指示信息, 进行小区激活操作。  Step 604: After the neighboring NCT cell receives the foregoing indication information sent by the UE, the neighboring NCT cell may perform a cell activation operation according to the foregoing indication information.
如此, 当 NCT小区处于睡眠状态时, UE进入该 NCT小区, 可以通 过指示信息指示该 NCT小区进行激活操作, 从而解决了睡眠态 NCT小区 无法对进入该 NCT小区的 UE进行服务的问题。  In this way, when the NCT cell is in the sleep state, the UE enters the NCT cell, and the indication information indicates that the NCT cell performs an activation operation, thereby solving the problem that the sleep state NCT cell cannot serve the UE entering the NCT cell.
具体地, 如果上述 NCT 小区接收到了一个或多个此类指示信息, 那 么可以根据这些指示信息的平均信号强度或指示信息的出现密度(如一段 时间内收到指示信令的个数)等信息综合考虑来决定执行激活操作为上述 UE提供服务。 NCT小区最终是否激活取决于不同的实现, 本发明不作过 多限定。  Specifically, if the foregoing NCT cell receives one or more such indication information, the average signal strength of the indication information or the appearance density of the indication information (such as the number of indication signaling received within a period of time) may be used. Considering comprehensively, it is decided to perform an activation operation to provide services for the above UE. Whether or not the NCT cell is ultimately activated depends on different implementations, and the present invention is not limited in many respects.
由于本发明是通过 NCT小区接收到的一个或多个 UE的此类指示信令 信息来考虑是否激活该 NCT小区, 上述多个 UE向同一个 NCT小区发送 的指示信令信息可以配置为相同。 当然, 也可以为不同的 UE配置不同的 测量参数。  Since the present invention considers whether to activate the NCT cell by using such indication signaling information of one or more UEs received by the NCT cell, the indication signaling information sent by the multiple UEs to the same NCT cell may be configured to be the same. Of course, different measurement parameters can also be configured for different UEs.
相应可选的,如果上述 NCT小区正处于激活状态,但 UE发送的指示 信令的平均信号强度或出现密度等情况较差, NCT小区可以重新进入睡眠 状态来结束对 UE的服务。  Correspondingly, if the NCT cell is in an active state, but the average signal strength or the appearance density of the indication signaling sent by the UE is poor, the NCT cell may re-enter the sleep state to end the service to the UE.
另外, 当 NCT小区处于激活态时, UE还可以接收该 NCT小区的服 务基站发送的 RRC重配置命令;从而根据该 RRC重配置命令开启上报 PPI 的功能, 向处于激活态的 NCT小区的服务基站上报 PPI, 该 PPI的值用于 表示 "正常" 或 "省电" ; 以便该 NCT小区的服务基站在上述 UE上报的 PPI的值表示省电时, 将上述 UE配置为省电状态, 例如, 当 UE上 ·艮了省 电指示后, 该 NCT小区的服务基站可以为其配置更长的 DRX周期或释放 RRC连接等。 In addition, when the NCT cell is in an active state, the UE may also receive an RRC reconfiguration command sent by the serving base station of the NCT cell, and then enable the function of reporting the PPI according to the RRC reconfiguration command to the serving base station of the NCT cell in the active state. The PPI is reported, and the value of the PPI is used to indicate "normal" or "power saving"; for example, when the serving base station of the NCT cell indicates that the PPI value reported by the UE indicates power saving, the UE is configured to be in a power saving state, for example, After the UE receives the power saving indication, the serving base station of the NCT cell can configure a longer DRX cycle or release it. RRC connection, etc.
另外, 当上报省电指示的 UE达到一定比例时, 上述 NCT小区的服务 基站也可以将 UE切换到相邻小区,从而使 NCT小区进入睡眠状态。例如, 当 NCT小区的服务基站确定预定时间长度内值表示 "省电" 的 PPI的数 量大于值表示 "正常" 的 PPI的数量, 且值表示 "省电" 的 PPI的数量与 值表示 "正常" 的 PPI的数量之差大于或等于预设阈值时, NCT小区的服 务基站进入睡眠状态, 并将上述 NCT小区服务的 UE切换回宏小区。  In addition, when the UE reporting the power saving indication reaches a certain proportion, the serving base station of the NCT cell may also switch the UE to the neighboring cell, so that the NCT cell enters a sleep state. For example, when the serving base station of the NCT cell determines that the value of the "power saving" PPI is greater than the value indicating the "normal" PPI, and the value indicates that the "power saving" PPI number and value indicate "normal" When the difference between the number of PPIs is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, the serving base station of the NCT cell enters a sleep state, and the UE served by the NCT cell is switched back to the macro cell.
或者, 当上报省电指示的 UE的数量占连接态 UE总数的比例大于或 等于预设比例值时, NCT 小区的服务基站进入睡眠状态, 并将上述 NCT 小区服务的 UE切换回宏小区。  Or, when the ratio of the number of UEs reporting the power saving indication to the total number of connected UEs is greater than or equal to a preset ratio, the serving base station of the NCT cell enters a sleep state, and the UE served by the NCT cell is switched back to the macro cell.
如果之后此 NCT小区中处于宏小区 RRC连接态的 UE再次满足本发 明图 6所示实施例中的条件, 则重新按照本发明图 6所示实施例的方案将 NCT小区唤醒, 这样就组成了一个完整的 NCT小区激活状态和睡眠状态 的转换方案。  If the UE in the RRC connected state of the macro cell in the NCT cell again satisfies the condition in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 of the present invention, the NCT cell is re-awakened according to the solution of the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 of the present invention, thus forming a A complete NCT cell activation state and sleep state transition scheme.
本发明提供的 NCT小区的测量方法可以减小 UE进入 NCT小区所做 的不必要测量过程,同时可以通过 UE发送信令来使 NCT小区进行唤醒和 睡眠状态的转换。  The measurement method of the NCT cell provided by the present invention can reduce unnecessary measurement process performed by the UE to enter the NCT cell, and can perform signaling for the NCT cell to perform wake-up and sleep state conversion.
