下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行 清楚、 完整地描述, 显然, 所描述的实施例是本发明的一部分实施例, 而不 是全部实施例。 基于本发明中的实施例, 本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创 造性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其他实施例, 都应属于本发明保护的范围。
本发明的技术方案, 可以应用于各种通信***, 例如: 长期演进(Long Term Evolution , LTE ) 和通用移动通信系 统 ( Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, UMTS )等。
用户设备( User Equipment, UE ),也可称之为移动终端( Mobile Terminal, MT )、 移动用户设备等, 如移动电话(或称为"蜂窝"电话)和具有移动终端 的计算机, 例如, 可以是便携式、 袖珍式、 手持式、 计算机内置的或者车载 的移动装置。 UE可以经无线接入网 (例如, Radio Access Network, RAN ) 与一个或多个核心网进行通信。
基站, 可以是 UMTS中的基站(NodeB ), 还可以是 LTE中的演进型基 站( evolved Node B, eNB或 e-NodeB ), 本发明实施例并不限定。
图 1是可应用本发明实施例的场景的一个例子的示意图。 应注意, 图 1 的例子只是为了帮助本领域技术人员更好地理解本发明实施例, 而非限制本 发明实施例的范围。
图 1可以是宏微异构组网的场景。 如图 1所示, LPN 120可以部署在宏 基站 110的覆盖范围内, 用于增强容量。 UE 130可以同时接入宏基站 110 和 LPN 120, 其中宏基站 110和 LPN 120可以部署在不同的载波上。
图 2是图 1的场景中 UE的演进分组***( Evolved Packet System, EPS ) 承载和信令连接的一个例子的示意图。 UE 130 的控制面 (信令)可以通过 Uu接口连接到宏基站 110, 然后宏基站 110可以通过 S1接口连接到移动性 管理实体(Mobility Management Entity, MME )。 LPN 120可以通过与宏基 站 110之间的接***互 UE的控制信令,例如 LPN 120可以通过与宏基站 110 之间的新接***互控制信令,如图 1所示,该接口可以称为 Sx接口。 LPN 120 也可以在空口上与 UE 130进行信令交互。 UE的用户面承载, 即 EPS承载, 可以通过分组数据网网关(Packet Data Network Gateway, PDN-GW )和服 务网关( Service Gateway, S-GW )直连到 LPN 120, 或者也可以通过宏基站 110中继给 LPN 120。
这样就需要宏基站 110和 LPN 120之间进行协作。下面将结合本发明实 施例详细描述如何实现基站间的协作。
图 3是根据本发明实施例的基站间协作的方法的示意性流程图。 图 3的 方法由基占执行。
310, 第一基站获取第二能力交互信息, 第二能力交互信息指示第二基 站的协作能力。
320, 第一基站根据第二基站的协作能力以及第一基站的协作能力, 与 第二基站建立协作关系。
其中, 协作能力表示能够支持的基站间协作的能力。
本发明实施例中,通过第一基站获取用于指示第二基站的协作能力的第 二能力交互信息,使得第一基站能够根据第二基站的协作能力和第一基站的 协作能力与第二基站建立协作关系, 从而能够实现基站间的协作。
本发明实施例中, 第一基站和第二基站可以是具有协作能力的基站, 它 们之间能够进行协作, 例如第一基站可以图 1中的宏基站 110, 第二基站可 以是图 1中的 LPN 120。 或者, 第一基站可以是图 1中的 LPN 120, 第二基 站可以是图 1中的宏基站 110。
可选地, 作为一个实施例, 协作能力可以包括跨站点 CA ( Carrier Aggregation, 载波聚合) 能力, 跨站点 CoMP ( Coordinated Multiple Point transmission/reception , 协作多点发送 /接收) 能力、 载分流能力或云协作 能力。 比如, 可以定义异构网自组织网络(Self Organized Networks, SON ) 协作云, 在 SON协作云区域内的基站可以进行协作, 这种协作能力可以称 为云协作。 上述这些协作能力都是松耦合的协作能力。
可选地, 作为另一实施例, 第一基站的协作能力可以是根据第一基站从 OAM ***接收的协作能力信息获取的, 协作能力信息指示第一基站的协作 能力。
例如,在步骤 310之前,第一基站可以从 0AM***接收协作能力信息, 协作能力信息可以指示第一基站的协作能力。
例如, 第一基站可以在与 0AM***建立连接后从 0AM***接收协作 能力信息, 并进行存储。 这样, 第一基站可以在与第二基站协作关系之前从 自身的存储器内获取协作能力信息, 而无需每次在与第二基站建立协作关系 之前获取协作能力信息, 从而能够节省信令开销。
本发明实施例中,通过 0AM***向第一基站指示第一基站的协作能力, 使第一基站根据自己的协作能力与第二基站的协作能力与第二基站建立协 作关系, 从而使得***能够动态管理基站间的协作方式, 因此能够实现更灵 活的整网资源配置, 提升网络性能。
可选地, 作为另一实施例, 协作能力信息可以包括以下至少一种: 第一 基站的协作能力标识, 第一基站的协作能力激活标识。 其中第一基站的协作 能力标识可以指示第一基站的协作能力, 第一基站的协作能力激活标识可以 指示第一基站的协作能力是否处于激活状态。
进一步的, 协作能力标识可以通过多种形式表示。 例如, 协作能力标识 可以是数值的形式, 不同的数值表示不同的协作能力。 比如, "0" 可以表示 跨站点 CA能力, "1" 可以表示跨站点 CoMP能力, "2" 可以表示承载分流 能力等。 协作能力标识还可以通过列表的表项来实现。 比如, 列表中的每个 表项可以表示一种协作能力,可以同时配置多个表项表示基站具有多种协作 能力。
协作能力激活标识也可以是通过多种形式表示。 例如, 协作能力激活标 识可以是布尔变量。 比如, "0" 可以表示激活的协作能力, "1" 可以表示去 激活的协作能力。 此外, 协作能力激活标识也可以通过字符的形式表示。 比 如, "a" 可以表示协作能力处于激活状态, "b" 可以表示协作能力处于去激 活状态。 这样, 第一基站可以根据协作能力信息, 确定自己的协作能力。
可选地, 作为另一实施例, 在步骤 310中, 第一基站可以向 OAM*** 发送第一请求消息, 第一请求消息可以用于向 OAM***请求第二能力交互 信息。 第一基站可以接收 OAM***发送的第二能力交互信息。
可选地, 作为另一实施例, 在步骤 310中, 第一基站可以接收 OAM系 统根据第一基站的邻区列表和 /或第一基站的位置信息确定的第二能力交互 信息例如, OAM***可以根据第一基站的邻区列表和 /或第一基站的位置信 息, 确定第一基站的相邻基站为第二基站, 那么 OAM***可以向第一基站 下发第二能力交互信息, 向第一基站告知第二基站的协作能力。 第一基站可 以通过定位测量消息向 OAM ***上报第一基站的邻区列表和 /或第一基站 的位置信息, 或者也可以通过其它消息, 例如新增的消息或专用的消息, 向 OAM***上报第一基站的邻区列表和 /或第一基站的位置信息。
可选地, 作为另一实施例, 在步骤 310中, 第一基站可以接收第二基站 发送的第二能力交互信息。
例如, 第二基站可以在与第一基站交互彼此配置信息的时候, 向第一基 站发送第二能力交互信息。 或者, 第二基站还可以在自己的配置信息有更新 时候, 向第一基站发送第二能力交互信息。
可选地, 作为另一实施例, 在第一基站接收第二基站发送的第二能力交 互信息之前, 第一基站可以向第二基站发送第二请求消息, 其中第二请求消 息用于向第二基站请求第二能力交互信息。 或者, 第一基站可以向第二基站 发送第一能力交互信息, 以便第二基站向第一基站发送第二能力交互信息。
第一基站可以通过不同的方式从第二基站获取第二能力交互信息。 例 如, 第一基站可以向第二基站请求第二能力交互信息。 或者, 第一基站可以 向第二基站发送第一能力交互信息, 第二基站在接收到第一能力交互信息后 可以按照预定的规则确定需要向第一基站发送第二能力交互信息。
可选地, 作为另一实施例, 第一能力交互信息可以包括第一基站的标识 和第一基站的协作能力标识。
可选地, 作为另一实施例, 第一基站可以通过第一基站和第二基站之间 进行通信的接口, 例如 X2接口, 向第二基站发送第一能力交互信息, 以便 第二基站可以通过 X2接口向第一基站发送第二能力交互信息。
X2接口是第一基站与第二基站之间进行通信的接口, 其具体含义可参 照现有技术。
可选地, 作为另一实施例, 第二能力交互信息可以包括第二基站的标识 和第二基站的协作能力标识, 其中第二基站的协作能力标识用于指示第二基 站的协作能力。
应理解, 上述协作能力信息和上述第二能力交互信息还可以基于网络的 变化动态进行更新, 第一基站可以及时确定与第二基站之间的协作情况。
可选地, 作为另一实施例, 在步骤 320中, 第一基站根据第二基站的协 作能力以及第一基站的协作能力, 通过 X2接口或者协作接口与第二基站建 立协作关系, 其中协作接口是第一基站与所述第二基站之间建立协作关系的 接口。
第一基站可以根据第二基站的协作能力以及第一基站的协作能力,通过 X2接口或者协作接口与第二基站建立松耦合的协作关系。
其中, 在松耦合协作关系中, 第一基站和第二基站为相对独立的站点, 有各自的处理实体, 第一基站和第二基站之间的协作通过基站间的信令交互 来实现, 因此, 这样的协作关系可以称为松耦合的协作关系。
例如,第一基站的协作能力和第二基站的协作能力均为跨站点 C A能力, 或者, 第一基站激活的协作能力和第二基站激活的协作能力均为跨站点 CA 能力。 这样, 第一基站可以通过 X2接口建立跨站点 CA的协作关系。 或者, 第一基站可以通过协作接口与第二基站建立跨站点 CA的协作关系。 该协作 接口不同于 X2接口, 可以是第一基站与第二基站之间建立的用于基站间的 协作的接口, 例如图 1所示的 Sx接口。
可选地, 作为另一实施例, 第一基站可以获取邻区关系表, 其中邻区关 系表用于表示第一基站的第一小区与第二基站的第二小区之间的协作关系。 第一基站根据邻区关系表, 与第二基站建立第一小区和第二小区之间的协作 关系。
进一步地, 第一基站与第二基站建立协作关系之后, 可以建立小区级别 的协作关系。
可选地, 作为另一实施例, 第一基站可以向 OAM***发送第一基站的 邻区列表。 第一基站可以接收 OAM***根据邻区列表确定的邻区关系表。
可选地, 作为另一实施例, 邻区关系表可以包括第一小区的标识和所述 第二小区的标识。 邻区关系表还可以包括以下中的至少一种: 第一小区与第 二小区之间的协作信令接口标识, 第一基站和第二基站之间的主从标识, 禁 止协作标识。其中协作信令接口标识可以用于指示第一基站和第二基站交互 第一小区和第二小区之间协作信令的接口, 主从标识可以用于指示由第一基 站或第二基站控制所述第一小区或第二小区之间的协作流程, 禁止协作标识 可以用于指示是否禁止第一小区与所述第二小区之间的协作关系。
该邻区关系表可以是对现有技术中的邻居小区关系表 ( Neighbor Relation Table , NRT )的更新的表, 也可以是不同于该 NRT的新的邻区关系 表。该邻区关系表中可以包括第一基站的第一小区的标识和第二基站的第二 小区的标识。小区的标识可以是演进通用地面无线接入网( Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network, E-UTRAN )小区全球标识( E-UTRAN Cell Global Identity, ECGI )或物理小区标识( Physical Cell Identity, PCI )。
邻区关系表的表项可以由 OAM***进行配置, 也可以是预先定义的。 此外, 邻区关系表还可以由 0AM***进行更新。
应理解, 上述主从标识可以用于指示由第一基站或第二基站控制所述第 一小区或第二小区之间的协作流程,也就是指示第一基站和第二基站中哪个 是主基站, 哪个是从基站, 主基站也就是控制基站, 主基站可以控制第一小 区和第二小区之间的协作。 从基站可以参与协作, 但不能控制协作流程。
可选地, 作为另一实施例, 协作信令接口标识可以指示协作接口、 S1 接口或 X2接口。
S1接口为 MME与基站之间的接口。即第一基站可以间接通过 MME与 第二基站建立小区之间的协作关系。 S1 接口的具体内容可参照现有技术, 此处不再赘述。
第一基站与第二基站之间建立协作关系之后, 第一基站可以根据邻区关 系表, 与第二基站建立第一小区和第二小区之间的协作关系。 例如, 邻区关系表可以包括第一小区的标识、 第二小区的标识和协作信 令接口标识, 而第一小区与第二小区能够建立协作关系可以是预先定义的。 那么第一基站可以通过协作信令接口标识指示的接口与第二基站建立第一 小区和第二小区之间的协作关系。 邻区关系表可以不包括主从标识, 这样, 发起小区间协作流程的基站可以是预先定义的, 例如可以为由第一基站或第 二基站发起建立小区之间的协作流程。
再例如, 邻区关系表可以包括第一小区的标识、 第二小区的标识和主从 标识, 而协作信令接口是预先定义的, 比如 Sx接口、 S1接口或者 X2接口, 此外第一小区与第二小区能够建立协作关系也可以是预先定义的, 那么第一 基站可以通过预定义的协作信令接口与第二基站建立第一小区和第二小区 之间的协作关系。其中如果邻区关系表中的主从标识指示由第一基站控制第 一小区和第二小区之间的协议流程, 那么可以由第一基站发起协作流程; 如 果主从标识指示由第二基站控制第一小区和第二小区之间的协议流程, 那么 可以由第二基站发起协作流程。
又例如, 邻区关系表可以包括第一小区的标识、 第二小区的标识和禁止 协作标识, 而协作信令接口预先定义, 比如 Sx接口、 S1接口或者 X2接口。 这样,在邻区关系表中的禁止协作标识指示第一小区和第二小区之间能够建 立协作关系时, 第一基站可以通过预定义的协作信令接口与第二基站建立第 一小区和第二小区之间的协作关系。 另外, 发起小区间协作流程的基站也可 以是预先定义的, 例如可以为由第一基站或第二基站发起建立小区之间的协 作流程。
应理解, 在邻区关系表包括第一小区的标识和第二小区的标识, 以及包 括协作信令接口标识、 主从标识和禁止协作标识的任意组合的情况下, 第一 基站根据邻区关系表与第二基站建立第一小区和第二小区之间的协作关系 的过程与上述举例描述的过程类似, 不再赘述。
本发明实施例中,通过第一基站获取用于指示第二基站的协作能力的第 二能力交互信息,使得第一基站能够根据第二基站的协作能力和第一基站的 协作能力与第二基站建立协作关系, 从而能够实现基站间的协作。
图 4是根据本发明实施例的基站间协作的方法的示意性流程图。 图 4的 方法由 OAM***执行。
410, OAM***确定第一基站的协作能力。 420, OAM***向第一基站发送协作能力信息, 协作能力信息指示第一 基站的协作能力, 以使得第一基站根据第一基站的协作能力以及第二基站的 协作能力, 与第二基站建立协作关系。
其中, 第二基站的协作能力是第一基站根据第二能力交互信息获取的, 第二能力交互信息指示第二基站的协作能力; 协作能力表示能够支持的基站 间协作的能力。

可选地, 作为另一实施例, OAM ***可以从第一基站接收第一请求消 息, 第一请求消息用于请求第二能力交互信息, 第二能力交互信息指示第二 基站的协作能力。 OAM ***可以向第一基站发送第二能力交互信息, 以便 第一基站根据第二基站的协作能力和第一基站的协作能力与第二基站建立 协作关系。
可选地, 作为另一实施例, OAM***可以向第一基站发送 OAM*** 根据第一基站的邻区列表和 /或第一基站的位置信息确定的第二能力交互信 息。
例如, OAM***可以根据第一基站的邻区列表和 /或第一基站的位置信 息, 确定第一基站的相邻基站为第二基站, 那么 OAM***可以向第一基站 下发第二能力交互信息, 向第一基站告知第二基站的协作能力。 OAM *** 可以从第一基站接收定位测量消息, 定位测量消息可以携带第一基站的邻区 列表和 /或第一基站的位置信息。 或者, OAM***可以从第一基站接收携带 第一基站的邻区列表和 /或第一基站的位置信息的专用的消息或新增消息,从 而获取第一基站的邻区列表和 /或第一基站的位置信息。

又例如, 邻区关系表可以包括第一小区的标识、 第二小区的标识和禁止 协作标识, 而协作信令接口预先定义, 比如 Sx接口、 S1接口或者 X2接口。 这样,在邻区关系表中的禁止协作标识指示第一小区和第二小区之间能够建 立协作关系时, 第一基站可以通过预定义的协作信令接口与第二基站建立第 一小区和第二小区之间的协作关系。 另外, 发起小区间协作流程的基站也可 以是预先定义的, 例如可以为由第一基站或第二基站发起建立小区之间的协 作流程。 应理解, 在邻区关系表包括第一小区的标识和第二小区的标识, 以及包 括协作信令接口标识、 主从标识和禁止协作标识的任意组合的情况下, 第一 基站根据邻区关系表与第二基站建立第一小区和第二小区之间的协作关系 的过程与上述举例描述的过程类似, 不再赘述。

假设宏基站 110与 LPN 120都具有松耦合的协作能力, 宏基站 110与 LPN 120之间存在新的协作接口, 例如图 1所示的 Sx接口。 那么, 宏基站 110的邻区关系表的一个例子可以见表 1。

如表 1所示, "禁止协作" 可以是禁止协作标识, 当其值为 "否" 时, 可以表示第一小区 140和第二小区 150之间可以建立协作关系。

"非 Sx控制" 可以是宏基站 110和 LPN 120之间的主从标识, 当其值 为 "否" 时, 可以表示宏基站 110可以作为主基站, 控制协作流程, 而 LPN 120可以参与协作过程, 但不能控制协作流程。
