具体实施方式
图1所示的为一种LTE-WLAN紧耦合架构;eNB与核心网CN之间通过S1接口连接;eNB与终端之间通过LTE空口连接;WLAN基站与终端之间通过WLAN空口连接。LTE基站包括所述eNB。所述eNB与WLAN基站之间目前通过网络侧的理想或非理想回路进行信息交互。
分析所述LTE基站无法对LTE网络和WLAN网络之间的联合传输进行有效控制,发现LTE在现有技术中WLAN测量是由WLAN网络自身进行控制,LTE基站无法控制WLAN测量,也无法获知WLAN测量结果;进而导致LTE基站无法获知对联合传输进行控制的一些必要信息,进而导致LTE基站对LTE网络和WLAN网络之间的联合传输无法形成有效的控制。有鉴于此,在本发明实施例中由所述LTE基站对WLAN测量进行参数配置,并基于所述WLAN测量参数进行测量且获得WLAN测量结果;这样就实现了LTE基站对WLAN测量的控制以及WLAN结果的获知。且由 LTE基站对WLAN测量进行参数配置,LTE基站可以根据当前联合传输控制所需的测量参数进行参数配置,从而能够有针对性的获得LTE基站所需参数,WLAN测量也可以有针对性的进行,从而能够简化测量。
以下结合说明书附图及具体实施例对本发明的技术方案做进一步的详细阐述,应当理解,以下所说明的优选实施例仅用于说明和解释本发明,并不用于限定本发明。如图2所示,本实施例提供一种WLAN测量方法,所述方法包括:

在本实施例中进行WLAN测量参数配置的为LTE基站,而非WLAN基站本身。当然在图1所示的架构中所述WLAN基站也可以进行WLAN测量配置;本申请中所述LTE基站来控制WLAN测量主要是控制一些与联合传输等相关参数的测量。
在步骤S120中发送所述WLAN测量参数,方便进行测量的WLAN网络中的设备根据所述WLAN测量参数进行WLAN测量,以形成WLAN测量结果。在发送所述WLAN测量参数,根据需要接收WLAN测量参数的设备与LTE基站之间的连接,选择相对应的传输链路发送所述WLAN测量参数。具体如,发送给终端时,可以通过LTE空口直接发送,若发送给WLAN基站可以通过理想或非理想回传链路来发送等。

在具体实现时,WLAN基站还可以通过WLAN网络自身统计以根据终端上报及自身信息处理后的信息,基于所述WLAN测量参数形成对应的WLAN测量报告。具体如何形成WLAN测量报告可以参见现有技术。
在LTE基站对WLAN测量进行具体控制时,可以结合上述方式一和方式二,通过方式一控制终端进行某些WLAN信号的接收和测量,通过方式二控制所述WLAN基站发送指定需要测量的WLAN信号或进行指定信息的统计和处理,从而LTE基站将获得更加全面、详细和精确的WLAN测量报告。
综合上述,本实施例提供了一种WLAN测量方法,是由LTE基站来进 行WLAN测量参数的配置,从而LTE基站通过配置WLAN测量参数实现了对WLAN测量的控制,同时还将接收WLAN测量结果;这样LTE基站就能获得其想要的WLAN网络的参数,从而能够更好的实现对LTE网络和WLAN网络的联合控制和联合传输。
