- the SPS information of the target cell PDCCH is indicated in the handover message of the source cell, and the UE detects the PDCCH in the target cell according to the indication, and completes the sending of the handover complete message according to the UL-Grant information in the DCI.
- the specific steps include:
- the UE completes the neighbor cell measurement according to the configuration of the source cell, and sends an RRC Measurement report to the source cell.
- the source cell determines whether the UE needs to perform cell handover according to the neighboring cell measurement report sent by the UE. If it is determined that cell handover is required, the source cell sends a cell handover request (Handover request) to the target cell, where the handover request message may be Carrying the PDCCH request flag and the BSR information reported by the UE last time indicates that the target eNB is required to indicate that the PDCCH information is used for fast handover, and the BSR information helps the target cell to allocate uplink communication resources suitable for the UE.

- the target cell determines, according to the received cell handover request, whether sufficient communication resources are allocated to the UE, and if so, sends a cell handover confirm message to the source cell.
- the handover confirmation message carries scheduling time information of the target cell PDCCH.
- the target cell considers the subsequent processing delay of the handover confirmation message, and may indicate that the PDCCH is valid after a period of time T after the handover confirmation command is sent.
- the handover related message may be retransmitted.
- the time T may be set longer, which may prolong the data interruption time. Therefore, another possible resource allocation mode is a semi-static scheduling mode, that is, a set of scheduling moment combinations is given.
- the validity period indication similar to the method one, for example, detecting the PDCCH on the subframe 2 and the subframe 7 in each frame, the validity period is 10 frames or valid 10 times.
- the source base station After obtaining the SPS scheduling time information of the PDCCH, the source base station sends the information to the UE through the handover command.
- the UE sends a hybrid automatic repeat request ACK message to the source cell, and disconnects from the source cell.
- the UE After completing the downlink synchronization of the target cell, the UE detects the PDCCH according to the SPS scheduling time information, and obtains the UL-Grant from the DCI information in the PDCCH, which is indicated by the UL-Grant. A handover complete message is sent on the resource, and the PDCCH is continuously detected on subsequent possible PDCCH SPS resources.

- the target cell does not need to indicate the UL-Grant in the handover confirmation command, that is, the specific uplink resource does not need to be allocated in advance, and the handover command sent by the source cell is acknowledged by the UE, and is notified by the source cell.
- the target cell handover command is sent, the target cell allocates UL-Grant resources according to the current scheduling situation, which has greater flexibility in resource utilization.
- the target cell detects whether there is an uplink signal sent by the UE on the time-frequency resource corresponding to the UL-Grant information.
- the target cell may determine whether there is data transmitted by the UE by detecting an DMRS (De Modulation Reference Signal). If the DMRS is detected, the UE transmits data. If the DMRS is not detected, the UE does not send data.
- DMRS De Modulation Reference Signal
- the UE does not send data on the time-frequency resource indicated by the UL-Grant. There are two possible reasons. One is that the UE does not successfully detect the PDCCH information, and the other may be that although the UE successfully obtains the UL-Grant information, the UE There is no data to send (or the data is not ready yet).
- a method for identifying a reason why the UE does not send data on the UL-Grant indicating time-frequency resource (one of the above two reasons) is provided. That is, when the UE receives the UL-Grant information in the PDCCH and there is no data to be transmitted, the UE may not send padding on the PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel) but pass the PUCCH (Physical). Uplink Control CHannel, physical uplink control channel) channel feedback ACK (Acknowledgement) information, or use the pre-configured cyclic shift value to transmit pilots on the time-frequency resources indicated by UL-Grant, as follows:
- the target cell determines whether the UE sends data by detecting whether the uplink DMRS signal exists.
- the 3-bit information is included in the UL-Grant information to indicate the cyclic shift value used by the DMRS (the range is 0-7).
- the 3-bit information used to indicate the cyclic shift value used by the DMRS in the SPS activation command is All 0s, representing the cyclic shift used by the DMRS is 0.
- the target cell detects the DMRS signal in the pilot detection window corresponding to the cyclic shift value, and determines that the user has sent the uplink signal if the signal energy exceeds a certain threshold, and if it is below a certain threshold, The UE did not send data.
- the specific process is: when the UE receives the UL-Grant information indicated by the PDCCH, if there is no data to be sent at this time, the UE may use one of the following two methods to feed back the cell information, so that the cell confirms that the PDCCH is successfully received.
- Method 1 The UE feeds back ACK information to the target cell on the PUCCH channel.
- the UE receives the downlink data transmitted by the target cell on the PDSCH channel of the subframe n, it needs to feed back ACK/NACK (Nacknowledge) information to the target cell in the PUCCH channel of the subframe n+4.
- the used PUCCH resource index has a one-to-one correspondence with the CCE (Control Channel Element) index indicating the PDCCH information of the PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel).
- the present embodiment extends the manner of the feedback ACK/NACK to the uplink transmission, that is, when the PDCCH is used to indicate the UL-Grant of the uplink transmission, An ACK is sent on the PUCCH resource, indicating to the cell that the UE normally receives the PDCCH indication, but there is no data to be transmitted at this time. If the cell does not detect the corresponding DMRS on the uplink resource corresponding to the ULGrant indicated by the PDCCH, and the ACK is not detected on the corresponding PUCCH resource, it is determined that the UE does not successfully detect the PDCCH, and vice versa, it is determined that the UE successfully detects the PDCCH.
- Method 2 The UE sends a DMRS pilot signal on a time-frequency resource indicated by the UL-Grant, and the DMRS pilot signal uses a pre-configured cyclic shift value, where the pre-configured cyclic shift value is sent when the user sends data.
- the loop values used are different.
- two symbols in one subframe are used to transmit the DMRS, and the 3-bit information is carried in the UL-Grant to indicate the cyclic shift used by the DMRS.
- the UE sends different DMRS pilot codes corresponding to cyclic shifts on the same DMRS time-frequency resource, and the target cell considers that the UE successfully receives the PDCCH but detects the DMRS in the corresponding DMRS detection window. There is no data at this time; if not detected, it is judged that the UE has not successfully detected the PDCCH.
- the above two methods of judging, which one is specifically selected, may be configured by RRC signaling configuration or UL-Grant information.
- the pre-configured loop value may be configured by a target cell configuration (configured in RRC signaling configuration or UL-Grant information), or configured with an offset value, and finally used.
- the cyclic shift value used for feedback is added to the original cyclic shift value and the offset value. Then take the modulo 8 to get. If configured in the UL Grant, it may be necessary to add new bit information to indicate the DMRS cyclic shift value used when there is no data.
- the UE When the UE receives the UL-Grant information indicated by the PDCCH, if there is no data to be sent, the UE feeds back to the cell according to one of the above methods, and then does not need to detect the ACK/NACK information of the PHICH channel feedback; After the UL-Grant information is sent, the DMRS information is not detected, but the feedback information of one of the above two methods is detected, and the ACK/NACK information is not required to be fed back on the PHICH channel.
- the method described above is not limited to being applied only in the handover scenario, and may be extended to all scenarios in which the PDCCH indicates UL-Grant.
- the PDCCH indicates UL-Grant.
- the above method may be used to notify the cell that the PDCCH is successfully received, which is not limited in the present invention.
- the present invention provides another method to improve resource utilization.
- the base station allocates the same UL Grant to two or more UEs, where different UEs use different DMRSs to send respective data.
- the different DMRSs may be indicated by an RRC message or a UL Grant, and the specific method is as shown in the foregoing embodiment.
- the base station may allocate a special UL Grant to the corresponding UE according to the detected DMRS. Instructing the UE to perform adaptive retransmission; or feeding back a NACK on the PHICH channel, indicating that the UE indicates non-adaptive retransmission. At this time, the base station can only instruct one UE to perform non-adaptive retransmission at most, so as to avoid collision again during retransmission.
- multiple UEs can share the same uplink resource and improve resource utilization.
- collisions during retransmission can be avoided, and data transmission delay can be reduced.
- the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for identifying a reason why a UE does not send data on a time-frequency resource indicated by a UL-Grant.
- the downlink may be downlink.
- the channel conditions are poor, and the cell needs to take measures to improve the detection performance of the downlink PDCCH and ensure that the handover process is successfully completed. If it is determined that the UE has not yet transmitted data, no special operation is required.
- the UE does not send data when there is no data to be transmitted, and can reduce the method for transmitting the meaningless random number. Small interval interference and reduce UE power consumption.

Description
本发明涉及小区切换技术,尤其涉及一种小区切换方法、装置及设备。
无线通信***相对有线通信***而言,优势在于UE(User Equipment,用户设备)可以自由移动。在蜂窝通信***中UE的移动会导致服务小区的改变,这一过程被称为小区切换过程。
图1示出了现有技术小区切换过程的流程图。图1中,以LTE(Long Term Evolution,长期演进)***,源小区与目标小区分别对应不同基站的应用场景为例进行说明,切换步骤包括:
A、UE根据源eNB的配置完成邻区测量并向源eNB反馈测量报告(Measurement reort),由源eNB根据邻区和本小区的信号强度判断是否需要进行切换,如果需要切换则执行B步骤。
B、源eNB向目标eNB发送切换请求(handover request),如果目标eNB有足够的资源分配给切换UE,则执行C步骤。
C、目标eNB会向源eNB反馈切换确认消息(handover request confirm),以上过程称为切换准备阶段。
D、源eNB随后向UE发送切换命令(handover command),收到切换命令后,UE断开与源eNB的连接,数据传输停止。UE开始监听目标小区的下行同步信息,在完成下行同步后,开始随机接入过程。首先UE发送随机接入前导信号,目标eNB检测到前导序列后,向UE发送上行传输资源,如UL-Grant(Uplink Grant,上行调度资源指示)等,UE接收到UL-Grant后,向目标eNB反馈切换完成消息(handover complete)。
F、在目标eNB返回ACK确认后,切换过程完成,数据传输恢复。
G、目标eNB还向MME(Mobility Management Entity,移动管理实体)/UPE(User Plan Entity,用户平面实体)发送上行路径更新消息(Uplink plane update)。
上述小区切换过程中,数据传输中断的时间相对较长,平均约为50ms,对于传输延迟较高的应用场景,如在线视频、实时游戏等应用场景,小区的切换会破坏数据传输的连续性,影响用户体验。

本发明中,以UE作为用户终端为例对本发明的技术方案进行说明,对于其它设备作为用户终端而言的方案,不再详细赘述。
UE在小区切换过程中,数据传输中断的平均时间为50毫秒,对于在线视频、实时游戏等时延要求比较高的应用场景,会破坏数据传输的连续性,影响用户体验。
上述小区切换过程中,UE侧数据传输中断的因素主要在于UE需要利用随机接入过程获取目标小区分配的上行传输资源,如UL-Grant等。随机接入过程中,UE侧的时延包括:等待随机接入时频资源、发送随机前导序列、等待目标小区的随机接入响应、处理随机接入响应消息以及等待上行传输资源等。
为了降低小区切换过程中数据传输延迟时间,本发明实施例提供了一种小区切换方法,本方法中,UE从源小区处获取UL-Grant等上行传输资源,省略随机接入过程,缩短数据传输中断时间,从而降低小区切换过程中数据传输延迟时间。
下面以具体地实施例对本发明的技术方案进行详细说明。下面这几个具
体的实施例可以相互结合,对于相同或相似的概念或过程可能在某些实施例不再赘述。
本发明实施例的小区切换方法可以应用于源小区与目标小区属于相同eNB的场景,也可以应用于源小区所在基站与目标小区所在基站为不同的基站的切换场景。
图2示出了本发明实施例一小区切换方法的流程图,本方法的执行主体为UE,主要步骤包括:
步骤S11:UE接收源小区发送的切换命令,切换命令中携带有目标小区的UL-grant提示信息。
源小区确定UE进行小区切换时,向UE发送切换命令,并在向UE发送的切换命令中携带UL-grant提示信息。
步骤S12:UE根据UL-grant提示信息,确定目标小区的UL-grant。
UE接收到的源小区发送的切换命令后,根据切换命令中的UL-grant提示信息得到目标小区的UL-grant。
步骤S13:UE根据UL-grant向目标小区发送上行数据。
UE确定目标小区的UL-grant后,根据需要向目标小区发送上行数据,其中发送的上行数据至少包括以下一种:切换完成消息、缓存状态报告以及业务数据。
本实施例中,UE接收到源小区发送的切换命令后,可以直接根据切换命令中携带的UL-grant提示信息确定目标小区的UL-grant,省略了随机接入过程,由此减少了UE在小区切换过程中的传输中断时间。
图3示出了本发明实施例二小区切换方法的流程图,执行主体为UE,主要处理步骤包括:
步骤S21:UE接收源小区发送的切换命令,切换命令中携带有目标小区的UL-grant提示信息、TA(Timing Advance,定时提前量)提示信息以及上行发射功率提示信息。
为完成小区切换过程,UE除获取目标小区的UL-grant外,还需进一步获取UE在目标小区使用的TA以及UE向目标小区发送数据的上行发射功率。
UE获取在目标小区使用的TA以及UE向目标小区发送数据的上行发射
功率可以在UE中预先配置,当UE需要进行小区切换时,直接使用预先配置好的数据。
为了合理配置UE与目标小区的通信策略,本实施例中由源小区通过提示信息指示UE目标小区通信所需使用的TA以及向目标小区发送数据的上行发射功率。
本实施例中以切换命令中同时携带TA提示信息以及上行发射功率提示信息为例进行说明。本领域技术人员可以理解,在具体实施本方案时,源小区发送的切换命令中可以携带TA提示信息及上行发射功率提示信息中的任一种,未携带的信息可以其它方式获取,如UE预先配置的方式获取,对于此种实施方式,本实施例中不再赘述。
步骤S22:UE根据UL-grant提示信息,确定目标小区的UL-grant。
步骤S23:UE根据TA提示信息,确定UE在目标小区使用的TA。
步骤S24:UE根据上行发射功率提示信息,确定UE在目标小区的上行发射功率。
上述步骤S22~S24不区分执行的先后顺序,本实施例中为了对技术方案进行说明,以S22至S24递增顺序对本方案进行说明。
步骤S25:UE根据目标小区的UL-grant、TA,以确定出的上述上行发射功率向目标小区发送上行数据。
UE确定目标小区的UL-grant、TA以及在目标小区的上行发射功率后,UE监听目标小区的下行同步信号,完成与目标小区的下行同步后,向目标小区发送上行数据。
具体的,UE根据目标小区的UL-grant,确定能够传输的数据量,根据可传数据量的大小,向目标小区传输切换完成消息、缓存状态报告以及业务数据中的一种或多种。
本实施例中,UE从源小区的切换命令中获取目标小区的UL-grant、TA以及上行发射功率的提示信息,根据相应提示信息确定目标小区的UL-grant、TA以及上行发射功率,无需再通过对目标小区的随机接入过程获取上述信息,从而省去随机接入过程,缩短小区切换过程中UE侧数据传输中断时间,降低数据传输延迟,提高用户体验度。
图4示出了本发明实施例三小区切换方法的流程图,该方法的执行主体
为UE,主要处理步骤包括:
步骤S31:UE向源小区发送邻区测量报告。
图5示出了UE获取目标小区TA的信令流程图,从图中可看出UE获取目标小区TA的步骤包括:
(1)UE根据源小区的配置完成邻区测量,并向源小区发送邻区测量报告(RRC Measurement report)。
(2)源小区根据UE发送的邻区测量报告,确定UE是否需要进行小区切换,若确定需要进行小区切换,源小区向目标小区发送小区切换请求(Handover request),其中,可选的,在小区切换请求中携带目标小区TA请求信息(TA request)。可以理解的,如果源小区与目标小区属于同一个基站,该过程为基站内部实现,本发明不作限制。
(3)目标小区根据接收到的小区切换请求确定是否有足够的通信资源分配给UE,若有,则向源小区发送小区切换确认消息(Handover confirm),其中,可选的,在小区切换确认消息中携带目标小区的TA(TA value)。
另外,目标小区在向源小区发送的小区切换确认消息中还可以携带关于目标小区UL-grant提示信息。
目标小区在小区切换确认消息中是否携带目标小区的TA和/或UL-grant提示信息可以由目标小区触发,也可以由小区切换请求消息中携带的相关请求信息触发,例如目标小区根据小区切换请求信息中所携带的目标小区TA请求信息在小区切换确认消息中携带目标小区的TA。
本实施例中,目标小区向源小区发送的小区确认消息中可以携带目标小区的TA提示信息以及目标小区的UL-grant提示信息。
本实施例中,目标小区向源小区发送的小区确认消息中可以携带目标小区的TA提示信息以及目标小区的UL-grant提示信息。
源小区根据切换确认消息生成切换命令,并在切换命令中携带目标小区的TA提示信息、UL-grant提示信息以及在目标小区的上行发射功率提示信息。
(4)源小区向UE发送小区切换命令(handover command),其中小区切换命令携带于源小区向UE发送的无线资源重配置消息(RRC reconfiguration中。
步骤S32:UE接收源小区发送的切换命令,切换命令中携带有UE在目标小区的TA提示信息、UL-grant提示信息以及在目标小区的上行发射功率提示信息。
可选的,UE接收源小区发送的切换命令后,如图5中的步骤(5)UE向源小区发送混合自动重传请求确认消息(HARQ Ack)。
可以理解的,切换命令中具体携带的信息是根据目标小区发送给源小区的切换确认消息中携带的信息确定的,如,可以只携带UL Grant提示信息,或者携带UL Grant提示信息及TA提示信息,等,本发明不作限制。
步骤S33:UE根据切换命令确定UE在目标小区使用的TA、UL-grant以及在目标小区的上行发射功率。
由于切换命令中携带有目标小区的TA提示信息,因此UE可以根据切换命令中携带的信息确定目标小区的TA。
当切换命令中直接携带目标小区的TA时,TA提示信息为目标小区的TA。
切换命令中所携带的上行发射功率提示信息可以有多种设置实现方式,例如上行发射功率提示信息可以为UE在目标小区使用的上行发射功率,此时UE将在源小区使用的上行发射功率作为在目标小区使用的上行发射功率。
又例如,上行发射功率提示信息为在源小区的上行发射功率基础上进行偏移的偏移量信息,此时UE在源小区发射功率的基础上按照偏移量信息进行偏移进而确定在目标小区中的上行发射功率。
又例如,上行发射功率提示信息为指示UE根据目标小区的下行信号发送功率和下行信号接收功率确定UE在目标小区的上行发射功率的第四指示信息。
此时UE确定在目标小区确定上行发射功率的方法如下:
(1)UE根据第四指示信息接收目标小区的小区广播消息,其中在小区广播消息中携带目标小区的下行信号发送功率。
(2)UE根据接收到的小区广播消息,确定下行信号接收功率。
(3)UE根据下行信号发送功率及下行信号接收功率,确定目标小区的下行路径损耗值。
(4)UE根据下行路径损耗值以及预先设定的目标小区期望的接收功率,
确定UE在目标小区的上行发射功率。
同样的目标小区的UL-grant提示信息也可以有多种实现方式,例如UL-grant提示信息包括目标小区的UL-grant以及UL-grant生效时间信息,由此可以使UE直接确定目标小区的UL-grant以及UL-grant的生效时间。
另外一种实现方式中,目标小区的UL-grant提示信息还可以包括用于指示UE监听目标小区PDCCH(Physical Downlink Control Channel,物理下行控制信道)的PDCCH监听指示信息。
此种方式下,UE根据UL-grant提示信息,确定目标小区的UL-grant的步骤包括:
(1)UE根据PDCCH监听指示信息监听PDCCH;
(2)UE根据监听到的PDCCH上所传输的DCI(Downlink Control Information,下行控制信息),确定目标小区的UL-grant。
步骤S34:UE根据目标小区的UL-grant、TA,以确定出的上述上行发射功率向目标小区发送切换完成消息,其中,此步骤即为图5中的步骤(6)。
本实施例中,UE从源小区发送的切换命令中获取在目标小区使用的TA、目标小区的UL-grant以及根据切换命令的上行发射功率提示信息确定UE在目标小区的上行发射功率,省去了随机接入过程,缩短小区切换过程中数据传输中断时间。
以下将结合附图对UE获取目标小区的UL-grant的过程进行详细说明。
图6示出了UE获取目标小区的UL-grant的第一方式流程图,包括:
本方式中目标小区向源小区发送的切换确认消息中携带目标小区的UL-Grant提示信息,所述UL-Grant提示信息中可以包含目标小区的UL Grant。具体的,该UL Grant中包含的内容有物理资源,如物理资源块(Physical resource block,PRB),调制编码方式(Modulation and Codeding Scheme),冗余版本等信息。
进一步可选的,该UL-Grant提示信息中还可以包含周期信息,该周期信息用于指示上述UL Grant的周期,如周期配置为1ms或1个子帧或1个TTI时,表示UE在每ms或每个子帧或每一个TTI都可以使用该UL Grant。如周期配置为2ms或2个子帧或2个TTI时,表示UE在每2ms或每2个子帧或每2个TTI可以使用该UL Grant。
进一步可选的,该UL-Grant提示信息中还可以包含偏移量信息,该偏移量信息用于指示上述UL Grant的时刻,如在哪些时刻可以使用该UL Grant。例如,偏移量信息为1,周期为2ms,则表示在子帧1,子帧3,子帧5上可以使用该UL Grant,具体的计算公式如下:
[(无线帧号*10)+子帧号]模(周期)=(偏移量)模(周期);
进一步可选的,该UL-Grant提示信息中还可以包含UL Grant生效时间信息,该UL Grant生效时间信息用于指示该UL Grant在UE接收到切换命令后延迟T1时间生效,或者用于指示该UL Grant在所述目标小区向源小区发送切换确认消息后T2时间生效。例如,目标小区分配UL-Grant后,考虑后续的处理时延,可以指示在切换确认消息发送完成的一段时间T2后UL-Grant生效。
进一步可选的,该UL-Grant提示信息中还可以包含UL Grant持续时间信息,该UL Grant持续时间用于指示该UL grant的有效时长或有效的传输次数,有效时长为10帧或有效次数为10次,即从第一个有效帧算起连续10个帧后UL-Grant失效或从第一个有效子帧算起连续10个子帧后失效;或者用于指示该UL grant在T3时刻前有效,例如T3时间为切换完成命令发送时刻,或者为UE确认切换完成命令发送成功的时刻,或者T3为无线帧号为10,子帧号为3的时刻之前有效。
源小区通过切换命令消息效上述UL-Grant提示信息发送给UE。
UE接收到所述切换命令消息后,根据切换所述UL-Grant提示信息或者目标小区的UL Grant,周期信息,偏移量信息,生效时间信息,持续时间信息中的一个或多个,确定在目标小区使用的UL Grant,并根据UL Grant发送缓存状态报告,切换完成消息及业务数据中的至少一个。
通过采用上述UL-Grant配置方式,能够最大程度地减少UE等待上行资源的时间,更快地获得发送切换完成消息的资源。
其中时频资源是SPS(Semi-Persistent-Scheduling,半静态调度)配置的,并且给出了SPS配置有效期,有效期的计算可以基于源小区发送给目标小区的UE之前的BSR(Buffer State Report,缓存状态报告)确定,具体步骤包括:
(1)UE根据源小区的配置完成邻区测量,并向源小区发送邻区测量报
告(RRC Measurement report)。
(2)源小区根据UE发送的邻区测量报告,确定UE是否需要进行小区切换,若确定需要进行小区切换,源小区向目标小区发送小区切换请求(Handover request),其中,可选的,切换请求消息中可以携带UL-Grant请求标志和UE最近一次上报的BSR信息,表明希望目标小区能够指示UL-Grant信息用于快速切换,上述BSR信息有助于目标小区分配适合UE的上行通信资源。
(3)目标小区根据接收到的小区切换请求确定是否有足够的通信资源分配给UE,若有,则向源小区发送小区切换确认消息(Handover confirm)。
其中,在切换确认消息中携带目标小区的UL-Grant和调度时刻信息。可选的,给出一组调度时刻组合及配置有效时长或有效的传输次数,例如指示在每个帧中的子帧2、子帧7上UL-Grant生效,有效时长为10帧或有效次数为10次,即从第一个有效帧算起连续10个帧后UL-Grant失效或从第一个有效子帧算起连续10个子帧后失效。
(4)源基站获得目标小区的UL-Grant和SPS调度时刻信息后,通过切换命令发送给UE。
(5)UE向源小区发送混合自动重传请求ACK消息,断开与源小区的连接。
(6)UE在完成目标小区的下行同步后,即根据SPS调度时刻和UL-Grant信息发送切换完成消息,并在后续可能的SPS调度资源上发送之前未发送完成的上行数据。目标小区在相应小区分配的SPS时刻的UL-Grant资源上检测是否有切换UE的上行数据到达,如果数据到达则开始SPS有效期计时,SPS资源分配的停止时刻由目标小区根据UE业务类型和待传输数据量决定。采用半静态调度模式的UL-Grant,能够最大程度地减少UE等待上行资源的时间,更快地获得发送切换完成消息的资源。
图7示出了UE获取目标小区的UL-grant的第二方式流程图。
本方式中目标小区向源小区发送的切换确认消息中携带目标小区的UL-Grant提示信息,所述UL提示信息中包含指示UE监听目标小区PDCCH的信息。
其中进一步可选的,该UL-Grant提示信息中还可以包含周期信息,该周
期信息用于指示UE监听目标小区PDCCH的周期,如周期配置为1ms或1个子帧或1个TTI时,表示UE在每ms或每个子帧或每一个TTI都监听目标小区的PDCCH。如周期配置为2ms或2个子帧或2个TTI时,表示UE在每2ms或每2个子帧或每2个TTI监听目标小区PDCCH。
进一步可选的,该UL-Grant提示信息中还可以包含偏移量信息,该偏移量信息用于指示UE监听目标小区PDCCH的时刻,如在哪些时刻可以UE监听目标小区PDCCH。例如,偏移量信息为1,周期为2ms,则表示在子帧1,子帧3,子帧5上监听目标小区PDCCH,具体的计算公式如下:
[(无线帧号*10)+子帧号]模(周期)=(偏移量)模(周期);
进一步可选的,该UL-Grant提示信息中还可以包含UE监听目标小区PDCCH生效时间信息,该UE监听目标小区PDCCH生效时间信息用于指示该UE监听目标小区PDCCH在UE接收到切换命令后延迟T1时间生效,或者用于指示该UE监听目标小区PDCCH在所述目标小区向源小区发送切换确认消息后T2时间生效。
进一步可选的,该UL-Grant提示信息中还可以包含UE监听目标小区PDCCH持续时间信息,该UE监听目标小区PDCCH持续时间用于指示该UE监听目标小区PDCCH的有效时长或有效的传输次数,有效时长为10帧或有效次数为10次,即从第一个有效帧算起连续10个帧后UE监听目标小区PDCCH失效或从第一个有效子帧算起连续10个子帧后失效;或者用于指示该UE监听目标小区PDCCH在T3时刻前有效,例如T3时间为切换完成命令发送时刻,或者为UE确认切换完成命令发送成功的时刻,或者T3为无线帧号为10,子帧号为3的时刻之前有效。
进一步可选的,该ULGrant提示信息中还可以包含UE监听目标小区PDCCH使用的无线网络临时标识RNTI(Radio Network Temporary Identifier),如C-RNTI或SPS-RNTI。
源小区通过切换命令消息效上述UL-Grant提示信息发送给UE。
UE接收到所述切换命令消息后,根据切换所述UL-Grant提示信息或者目标小区的UL Grant,周期信息,偏移量信息,生效时间信息,持续时间信息中的一个或多个,监听目标小区的PDCCH,并根据PDCCH传输的DCI确定UL Grant,并根据UL Grant发送缓存状态报告,切换完成消息及业务数
据中的至少一个。
通过采用上述UL-Grant配置方式,能够最大程度地减少UE等待上行资源的时间,更快地获得发送切换完成消息的资源。
可选的,源小区的切换消息中指示目标小区PDCCH的SPS信息,UE根据指示在目标小区检测PDCCH,并根据DCI其中的UL-Grant信息完成切换完成消息的发送。
具体步骤包括:
(1)UE根据源小区的配置完成邻区测量,并向源小区发送邻区测量报告(RRC Measurement report)。
(2)源小区根据UE发送的邻区测量报告,确定UE是否需要进行小区切换,若确定需要进行小区切换,源小区向目标小区发送小区切换请求(Handover request),其中,切换请求消息中可以携带PDCCH请求标志和UE最近一次上报的BSR信息,表明希望目标eNB能够指示PDCCH信息用于快速切换,上述BSR信息有助于目标小区分配适合UE的上行通信资源。
(3)目标小区根据接收到的小区切换请求确定是否有足够的通信资源分配给UE,若有,则向源小区发送小区切换确认消息(Handover confirm)。
其中,在切换确认消息中携带目标小区PDCCH的调度时刻信息。
目标小区考虑切换确认消息后续的处理时延,可以指示在切换确认命令发送完成后的一段时间T后PDCCH生效;考虑到无线链路不确定的传输质量,可能会导致切换相关消息的重传,为保证PDCCH指示的资源能被UE使用,时间T可能会设置的较长,这样会延长数据中断时间,所以另一种可能的资源分配方式是半静态调度模式,即给出一组调度时刻组合和有效期指示,类似于方法一,例如在每个帧中的子帧2、子帧7上检测PDCCH,有效期为10帧或有效10次。
(4)源基站获得PDCCH的SPS调度时刻信息后,通过切换命令发送给UE。
(5)UE向源小区发送混合自动重传请求ACK消息,断开与源小区的连接。
(6)UE在完成目标小区的下行同步后,即根据SPS调度时刻信息检测PDCCH,并从PDCCH中的DCI信息中获得UL-Grant,在UL-Grant指示的
资源上发送切换完成消息,并在后续可能的PDCCH SPS资源上继续检测PDCCH。目标小区在相应小区分配的SPS时刻PDCCH指示的UL-Grant资源上检测是否有切换UE的上行数据到达,如果数据到达则开始SPS有效期计时,SPS资源分配的停止时刻由目标小区根据UE业务类型和待传输数据量决定。相对于方法一,目标小区不需要在切换确认命令中就指示UL-Grant,即不需要提前分配好具体的上行资源,可以在UE确认收到源小区下发的切换命令,并且由源小区通知目标小区切换命令发送完成后,目标小区再根据当时的调度情况分配UL-Grant资源,在资源利用上有更大的灵活性。对于目标小区通过PDCCH向UE指示UL-Grant的场景,在目标小区发送完成PDCCH信息后,目标小区将在UL-Grant信息对应的时频资源上检测是否有UE发来的上行信号。目标小区可以通过检测上行DMRS(De Modulation Reference Signal,解调参考信号)判断是否有UE发送的数据,如果检测到DMRS则UE发送了数据,如果检测不到DMRS则UE没有发送数据。
UE没有在UL-Grant指示的时频资源上发送数据,可能的原因有两种,一种是UE没有成功检测到PDCCH信息,另一种可能是虽然UE成功获取了UL-Grant信息,但是UE没有需要发送的数据(或者数据还没有准备好)。
本实施例中提供一种识别UE没有在UL-Grant指示时频资源上发送数据的原因(以上两种原因中的一种)的方法。即当UE收到PDCCH中的UL-Grant信息,同时又没有数据需要发送,此时UE可以不在PUSCH(Physical Uplink Shared Channel,物理上行共享信道)上发送填充(padding),而是通过PUCCH(Physical Uplink Control CHannel,物理上行链路控制信道)信道反馈ACK(Acknowledgement,确认)信息,或者在UL-Grant指示的时频资源上使用与预配置的循环移位值发送导频,具体描述如下:
前提条件:目标小区通过检测上行DMRS信号是否存在,判断UE是否发送了数据。在UL-Grant信息中包含3bit信息指示DMRS所用循环移位值(范围是0-7),对于使用SPS方式分配的资源,由于SPS激活命令中用于指示DMRS所用循环移位值的3bit信息为全0,代表DMRS所用循环移位为0。目标小区在此循环移位值对应的导频检测窗口中检测DMRS信号,如果信号能量超过某一阈值则判断用户已发送上行信号,如果低于某一阈值则判
断UE没有发送数据。
具体过程:当UE收到PDCCH指示的UL-Grant信息时,如果此时没有数据需要发送,则UE可以使用以下两种方法中的一种反馈给小区信息,使小区确认PDCCH接收成功。
方法一:UE在PUCCH信道上反馈ACK信息给目标小区。当UE在子帧n的PDSCH信道接收目标小区发送的下行数据时,需要在子帧n+4的PUCCH信道向目标小区反馈ACK/NACK(Nacknowledge,非确认)信息。同时根据3GPP协议TS36.213中规定,所用的PUCCH资源索引与指示PDSCH(Physical Downlink Shared Channel,物理下行共享信道)的PDCCH信息的CCE(Control Channel Element,控制信道粒子)索引有一一对应关系。因为PDCCH的CCE索引在子帧内是唯一的,所以本实施例将这种反馈ACK/NACK的方式扩展到上行传输,即当PDCCH用于指示上行传输的UL-Grant时,也在其对应的PUCCH资源上发送ACK,向小区表明UE正常接收到了PDCCH指示,只是此时没有数据需要发送。如果小区在PDCCH指示的ULGrant对应的上行资源上没有检测到对应的DMRS,且在相应的PUCCH资源上没有检测到ACK,则判断UE没有成功检测到PDCCH,反之,判断UE成功检测到PDCCH。
方法二:UE在UL-Grant指示的时频资源上发送DMRS导频信号,该DMRS导频信号使用预配置的循环移位值,其中,所述预配置的循环移位值与用户发送数据时使用的循环值不同。在PUSCH信道中,一个子帧中有两个符号用于发送DMRS,同时在UL-Grant中携带了3bit信息指示DMRS所用的循环移位。本实施例中,UE在相同的DMRS时频资源上,发送不同的循环移位对应的DMRS导频码,目标小区在相应的DMRS检测窗口如果检测到这个DMRS,则认为UE成功接收到PDCCH但是此时无数据;如果没检测到,则判断UE没有成功检测到PDCCH。
以上两种判断方法,具体选用哪一种,可以由RRC信令配置或者UL-Grant信息中配置。
第二种方法中,所述预配置的循环值可以由目标小区配置(RRC信令配置或者UL-Grant信息中配置)具体的DMRS循环移位值,或者配置一个偏移值,此时最终使用的用于反馈的循环移位值为原循环移位值与偏移值相加
再对8取模得到。如果在UL Grant中配置,可能需要增加新的比特信息用于指示在没有数据时使用的DMRS循环移位值。
当UE收到PDCCH指示的UL-Grant信息时,如果没有数据需要发送,则按照以上方法中的一种向小区反馈,随后也不需要再检测PHICH信道反馈的ACK/NACK信息;同时,当小区下发了UL-Grant信息后,没有检测到指示的DMRS信息,而是检测到以上两种方法中某一种的反馈信息,则不需要再在PHICH信道上反馈ACK/NACK信息。
以上描述的方法,不限于只应用在切换场景中,可以扩展到所有PDCCH指示UL-Grant的场景,例如,在UE与服务小区进行通信过程中,如果UE检测到PDCCH,但不发送数据,都可以使用以上方法通知小区成功接收到PDCCH,本发明不作限制。
此外,上述方法中由于基站预先分配上行资源,导致在UE没有上行数据时,资源会被浪费,所以本发明提供了另一种方法,来提升资源利用率。
具体的,基站为两个或以上UE分配相同的UL Grant,其中不同的UE使用不同的DMRS发送各自的数据。其中所述不同的DMRS可以通过RRC消息或者UL Grant指示,具体方法如前面实施例所示。
当基站在UL Grant对应的资源上检测到多个DMRS,但没有成功解出数据时,说明发生冲突,此时,基站可以根据检测到的DMRS,为对应的UE分配专门的UL Grant,用于指示该UE进行自适应重传;或者在PHICH信道上反馈NACK,指示UE指示非自适应重传,此时,基站最多只能指示一个UE执行非适应重传,以免重传时再次冲突。
通过上述方法,可以实现多个UE共享相同的上行资源,提升资源利用率,同时,基于DMRS检测,可以避免重传时冲突,减少数据传输时延。
本发明实施例中提供一种识别UE没有在UL-Grant指示时频资源上发送数据的原因的方法,在切换场景中,如果小区能够判断UE没有成功收到PDCCH信息,则可能是下行链路信道条件较差,需要小区采取措施提高下行PDCCH的检测性能,保证切换过程顺利完成;如果判断是UE还没有需要发送的数据,则不需要特别操作。同时UE在接收到UL-Grant后,在没有数据需要发送的情况下不发送数据,相对于发送无意义随机数的方法,能够减少
小区间干扰并降低UE功耗。
图8示出了本发明实施例四小区切换方法的流程图,该方法的执行主体为UE,包括:
步骤S41:UE向源小区发送邻区测量报告。
UE根据源小区的配置完成邻区测量,并向源小区发送邻区测量报告。

目标小区根据接收到的小区切换请求确定是否有足够的通信资源分配给UE,若有,则向源小区发送小区切换确认消息。
本实施例中,在切换确认消息中携带UL-grant提示信息,优选的,源小区向目标小区发送的切换请求消息中携带目标小区UL-grant请求信息。
本实施例中,目标小区根据与源小区小区的实际通信场景确定UE在目标小区TA提示信息,并通过源小区向UE发送所述TA提示信息。
其中,具体确定方法包括:目标小区确定源小区与目标小区是否均处于协作多点传输COMP通信场景下;若是,则目标小区确定TA提示信息为指示目标小区的TA与源小区的TA相同的第一指示信息。
可选的,目标小区还进一步根据UE的通信需求确定UE在目标小区中的上行发射功率,并根据确定的结果生成上行发射功率提示信息,例如目标小区将UE在源小区中所使用的上行发射功率作为UE在目标小区的发射功率。
源小区根据目标小区发送的切换确认消息,生成切换命令,并在切换命令中携带TA提示信息、UL-grant提示信息以及在目标小区的上行发射功率提示信息。具体方法如前面实施例所述,在此不作赘述。
步骤S42:UE接收源小区发送的切换命令,切换命令中携带有TA提示信息、UL-grant提示信息以及在目标小区的上行发射功率提示信息。

本实施例中,UE根据上行发射功率提示信息确定UE在目标小区使用的上行发射功率的方式与实施例三中相同,本实施例不再赘述。
本实施例中,UE根据UL-grant提示信息确定目标小区的UL-grant的方式、实现过程与实施例三中相同,本实施例不再赘述。
步骤S44:UE根据目标小区的UL-grant、TA,以确定出的上述上行发射功率向目标小区发送切换完成消息。
本实施例中,UE根据源小区发送的切换命令获取目标小区的UL-grant,将源小区的TA作为目标小区的TA以及根据切换命令的上行发射功率提示信息确定UE在目标小区的上行发射功率,省去了随机接入过程,缩短小区切换过程中数据传输中断时间。
图9示出了本发明实施例五小区切换方法的流程图,该方法的执行主体为UE,包括:
步骤S51:UE向源小区发送邻区测量报告。
UE根据源小区的配置完成邻区测量,并向源小区发送邻区测量报告。
源小区根据UE发送的邻区测量报告,确定UE是否需要进行小区切换,若确定需要进行小区切换,源小区向目标小区发送小区切换请求。
目标小区根据接收到的小区切换请求确定是否有足够的通信资源分配给UE,若有,则向源小区发送小区切换确认消息。
本实施例中,在切换确认消息中携带UL-grant提示信息,优选的,源小区向目标小区发送的切换请求消息中携带目标小区UL-grant请求信息。
本实施例中目标小区将指示根据源小区的TA计算目标小区的TA的第二指示信息作为目标小区的TA提示信息。
可选的,所述目标小区的TA提示信息中还可以包含下行信号发送时刻信息,具体的,所述下行信号发送时刻信息可以指示源小区的下行信号发送时刻和目标小区的下行信号发送时刻,或者,所述下行信号发送时刻信息可以指示源小区的下行信号发送时刻与目标小区的下行信号发送时刻的差值,或者,所述下行信号发送时刻信息可以指示原小区的下行信号发送时刻与目标小区的下行信号发送时刻相同。
本实施例中确定源小区与目标小区的下行信号发送时刻信息,确定的方式包括:
方式一:源小区与目标小区的下行信号同步时,确定下行信号发送时刻信息为指示源小区与目标小区的下行信号为同步信号的第三指示信息。
方式二:源小区与目标小区的下行信号发送时刻不同时,源小区向目标小区发送的上述小区切换请求中携带目标小区下行信号发送时刻请求信息,在接收的小区切换确认消息中携带目标小区的下行信号发送时刻。
此时,源小区可以将源小区的下行信号发送时刻以及目标小区的下行信号发送时刻确定为源小区与目标小区的下行信号发送时刻信息。
或者,
源小区将源小区与目标小区的下行信号发送时刻差值作为源小区与目标小区的下行信号发送时刻信息。
另外,源小区还进一步根据UE的通信需求确定UE在目标小区中的上行发射功率,并根据确定的结果生成上行发射功率提示信息,例如源小区将UE在源小区中所使用的上行发射功率作为UE在目标小区的发射功率。
源小区生成切换命令,并在切换命令中携带TA提示信息、UL-grant提示信息以及在目标小区的上行发射功率提示信息。
步骤S52:UE接收源小区发送的切换命令,切换命令中携带有TA提示信息、UL-grant提示信息以及在目标小区的上行发射功率提示信息。
步骤S53:UE根据切换命令中的TA提示信息计算目标小区的TA。
其中,UE计算目标小区的TA的方法包括:
(1)UE根据下行信号发送时刻信息确定源小区与目标小区的下行信号同步时:
A、UE根据第二指示信息,分别检测源小区与目标小区的下行信号到达时刻;
B、UE根据源小区下行信号到达时刻(SeNB downlink timing)与目标小区源小区下行信号到达时刻(TeNB downlink timing),确定源小区与目标小区的下行同步时延差;
C、UE根据下行同步时延差以及源小区的TA,确定UE在目标小区使用的TA。
具体计算公式如下:
TeNB TA=SeNB TA+2*(TeNB downlink timing–SeNB downlink timing)
即目标eNB(TeNB TA)的TA,等于UE侧检测到的源SeNB的TA与
两eNB下行同步时延差值2倍的和,其中TeNB downlink timing为UE检测到的TeNB下行信号到达时刻,SeNB downlink timing为UE检测到的SeNB下行信号到达时刻。以上公式默认源eNB和目的eNB的下行发送时刻是相同的,即两个eNB是同步的。
(2)如果两个eNB的发送时刻是不同步的,则可以由源小区通知UE两个eNB间的同步时延差,辅助TA计算。则目标eNB TA的计算公式修正为:
TeNB TA=SeNB TA+2*(TeNB downlink timing–SeNB downlink timing-(TeNB transmitting timing–SeNB transmitting timing))
其中TeNB transmitting timing为TeNB的下行发送时刻,SeNB transmitting timing为SeNB的下行发送时刻,(TeNB transmitting timing–SeNB transmitting timing)即为两个小区间发送时刻同步时延差,具体实施时,源小区可以将该两个数值分别发送给UE,也可以将该两个数据的差值发送给UE。
上述算法中,源eNB对应源小区,目标eNB对应目标小区,该示例以目标小区的基站与源小区的基站为不同的基站为例进行说明,具体实施时目标小区与源小区的基站相同时也可以类比上述公式进行计算。
步骤S54:UE分别根据切换命令中的UL-grant提示信息以及上行发射功率提示信息确定目标小区的UL-grant以及UE在目标小区的上行发射功率。
本实施例中,UE根据上行发射功率提示信息确定UE在目标小区使用的上行发射功率的方式与实施例三中相同,本实施例不再赘述。
本实施例中,UE根据UL-grant提示信息确定目标小区的UL-grant的方式、实现过程与实施例三中相同,本实施例不再赘述。
步骤S55:UE根据目标小区的UL-grant、TA,以确定出的上述上行发射功率向目标小区发送切换完成消息。
本实施例中,UE从源小区发送的切换命令中获取目标小区的UL-grant,令UE根据TA提示信息自行计算目标小区的TA以及根据切换命令的上行发射功率提示信息确定UE在目标小区的上行发射功率,省去了随机接入过程,缩短小区切换过程中数据传输中断时间。
