Description

信息报告方法、信息获取方法、装置及*** 技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域,具体而言,涉及一种信息报告及获取方法、装置以及***。
背景技术
在无线蜂窝通信***中,基站(Base Station,简称为BS,或NodeB、eNB)是为用户设备(User Equipment,缩写为UE,也可称为终端terminal)提供无线接入的设备,基站与用户设备之间通过电磁波进行无线通信。一个基站可能提供一个或多个服务小区,无线通信***通过服务小区可以为一定地理范围内的终端提供无线覆盖。
无线通信***为了能够大范围的为用户提供无线通信,需要部署覆盖范围大的基站,这种基站通常称为宏基站(Macro eNB或Macro BS,Macro Base Station),其服务小区通常称为宏小区(Macro Cell)。另外,考虑到用户的不同需求和不同使用环境,无线通信***需要在某些环境或者场景下为用户提供弥补覆盖空洞或提供更高质量的无线通信服务,因此一些覆盖范围小、发射功率较低的小型基站(或传输节点transmission point,缩写为TP)被采用。这些小型基站包括微基站(Pico eNB或Pico BS)和仔基站(Femto eNB或Femto BS),其中仔基站也可以称为家庭基站(HNB或HeNB)、毫微微基站或飞基站,微基站和家庭基站提供的小区称为微小区(pico cell)和毫微微小区(femtocell)。与小型基站对应的节点又称为低功率节点(Low Power Node,缩写为LPN),这些节点对应的小区又称为小小区(small cell)。
除了无线蜂窝通信***之外,无线通信***还包括无线局域网(Wireless Local Access Network,缩写为WLAN或称为无线保真WIFI),其空口标准为IEEE802.11系列标准,包括802.11a,802.11n,802.11ac等,它们支持的最高传输速率是不同的。由于WIFI频谱是免费的并且WIFI芯片的成本低廉,无线局域网接入点(Access Point,缩写为AP,也可以叫做接入节点)的部署和应用可以为运营商和用户提供一种廉价的无线接入和负荷分流的途径。
业界已经提出将WLAN与现有无线蜂窝通信***网络进行融合,以达到负荷分流和提高网络性能的目的。为此,终端可以在网络侧的指导下在WLAN和无线蜂窝通信***间移动,包括将所有业务或部分业务在WLAN和无线蜂窝通信***间的移动。然而,相关技术主要是从负荷分担的角度考虑的分流,对于分流可能造成的用户体验的影响考虑不够充分。
针对相关技术中未考虑终端在WLAN和无线蜂窝通信***间移动的用户体验影响的问题,目前尚未提出有效的解决方案。
