  • the handover command and the handover completion the terminal air interface is switched from the source base station to the new target base station, and the air interface data transmission is interrupted. Therefore, it is necessary to perform handover optimization to reduce the control plane handover delay and the interruption of the user plane data.
  • the completion of the handover needs to complete the foregoing five processes on the control plane, and in the handover command and the handover completion process, the terminal disconnects the source cell connection from the target cell, so the data transmission is interrupted during this process. .
  • a handover optimization method is to adopt a pre-handover method. Compared with the foregoing normal handover, a handover preparation process is performed on a possible target cell before handover. After the actual measurement report triggers the handover, the handover preparation process may not be performed. The source cell directly sends the handover command of the pre-prepared handover cell to the terminal. Therefore, the control plane delay is shortened during the handover process, but the terminal still needs to disconnect the source cell and then connect to the target cell, so the data transmission is interrupted during the handover. Still exist.
  • the network initiated handover process is changed to the terminal initiated handover process, so in the control plane process, when the terminal decides When the handover is performed, the handover process is completed by the terminal directly switching to the target cell prepared in advance. Since the user plane data needs to be forwarded from the source cell to the target cell, there is also a data interruption in this method. Only after the terminal handover is completed, the target cell requests the data stream to be forwarded to the source cell or the data forwarding node, and the data is interrupted until the data flows. It is restored after being sent to the target cell.
  • the following handover optimization method exists in the prior art: a multi-connection is established through a terminal and multiple cells, and when the terminal accesses the target cell, the connection with the source cell is not disconnected first. Therefore, the terminal can continue to communicate with the source cell before completing the connection with the target cell, until the subsequent data is gradually transmitted to the target cell, and the problem of data interruption can be completely eliminated by the method.
  • the terminal still needs to identify the target cell as early as possible, and adds it to the multi-connection cell set through signaling, and needs to continue the set. Updates are made to allow multiple connected cells to be used for multi-connection transmission at any time.

Description

一种终端的切换方法和控制器、终端、基站以及***
本申请要求于2015年12月31日提交中国专利局、申请号为201511029928.3、发明名称为“一种终端的切换方法和控制器、终端、基站以及***”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本发明涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种终端的切换方法和控制器、终端、基站以及***。
背景技术
在未来无线网络中,有两种方式可实现高吞吐量,一种是使用大量的多输入多输出(英文全称:Multiple Input Multiple Output,英文名称:MIMO)天线,另一种是超密集网络部署。大量的MIMO天线是指在基站上使用大量的天线,MIMO的性能由于空间的限制会容易导致***容量饱和。超密集网络中微基站的部署成本比宏基站小,通过智能切换可以达到最好的连接。在远距离地方,只需要部署微基站即可,而不用部署有着很多天线的宏基站。微基站同时支持多种无线技术,但是微基站的切换性能不如宏基站,尤其在宏基站和微基站混合部署的移动网络中,用户设备(英文名称:User Equipment,英文简称:UE)的移动性管理更加复杂。
在这种混合部署的移动网络中,移动网络规模庞大且复杂,小区切换在设备移动性管理和性能分析中显得越来越重要。如今随着移动网络的发展,业务种类多样化,用户设备的移动复杂性的增加,致使原来的小区切换机制不再能很好的适应复杂的网络环境。
在长期演进(英文全称:Long Term Evolution,英文简称:LTE)***的切换过程中,在控制面可分为5个过程:测量过程、测量上报、切换准备、切换命令和切换完成。其中切换命令和切换完成这两个过程中由于终端空口从源基站切换到新的目标基站会中断空口数据的传输,因此有必要进行切换优化,以减少控制面切换时延和用户面数据的中断。在上述的切换过程中,完成切换需要在控制面完成前述5个过程,而在切换命令和切换完成过程中,终端会断开源小区连接和目标小区进行连接,因此在此过程中数据传输会中断。
现有技术中存在如下几种切换优化的方法用于减少控制面切换时延和用户面数据的中断。一种切换优化方法是采用预切换的方法,与前述的正常切换相比,在切换之前对可能的目标小区先进行切换预准备过程,在实际测量报告触发切换后,可以不再进行切换准备过程,由源小区直接将预准备的切换小区的切换命令直接发送给终端,因此切换过程中控制面时延会缩短,但终端仍然需要先断开源小区再连接目标小区,因此切换过程中数据传输中断依然存在。
为了进一步缩短切换过程,现有技术中还存在如下的切换优化方法:在基于预切换的方法的基础上,由网络发起切换过程转变为终端发起切换过程,因此在控制面过程中,当终端判决进行切换时,由终端直接和预先准备好的目标小区进行切换来完成切换过程。由于用户面数据需要从源小区转发到目标小区,因此这种方法也会存在数据中断,只有在终端切换完成后,由目标小区向源小区或者数据转发节点请求数据流转发,数据中断直到数据流转发到目标小区后才得以恢复。
为了克服上述方法存在的数据中断问题,现有技术中还存在如下的切换优化方法:通过终端和多个小区建立多连接,终端在接入目标小区时,并不先断开和源小区的连接,因此终端在完成和目标小区的连接前还可以继续和源小区进行通讯,直到后续数据逐渐转到目标小区发送为止,理论上通过该方法可以完全消除数据中断的问题。
但是在上述的切换优化方案中,建立多连接的方法虽然可以避免数据的中断,但是终端仍然需要尽早的识别目标小区,并通过信令添加到多连接小区集合中,并需要持续的对该集合进行更新,以备多个连接小区随时可能用于多连接传输。在高密度小区部署时,终端周围可能同时存在几个乃至数十个小区,因此这种现有技术存在小区管理维护成本比较高的问题。另外频繁的进行小区添加删除过程虽然不会导致掉话,但是对有效传输速率影响很大,从用户角度看,信号一直很好,但是传输速率忽大忽小,数据传输效率很低。

具体实施方式
本发明实施例提供了一种终端的切换方法和控制器、终端、基站以及***,用于在数据传输不中断的情况下完成终端的切换,且数据传输效率很高。
为使得本发明的发明目的、特征、优点能够更加的明显和易懂,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,下面所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例,而非全部实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域的技术人员所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
本发明的说明书和权利要求书及上述附图中的术语“第一”、“第二”等是用于区别类似的对象,而不必用于描述特定的顺序或先后次序。应该理解这样使用的术语在适当情况下可以互换,这仅仅是描述本发明的实施例中对相同属性的对象在描述时所采用的区分方式。此外,术语“包括”和“具有”以及他们的任何变形,意图在于覆盖不排他的包含,以便包含一系列单元的过程、方法、***、产品或设备不必限于那些单元,而是可包括没有清楚地列出的或对于这些过程、方法、产品或设备固有的其它单元。
本发明实施例提供的终端的切换方法主要应用于无线通信***,包括但不限于LTE***、高级长期演进(英文全称:Long Term Evolution-Advanced,英文简称:LTE-A)***、无线局域网(英文名称:Wireless Fidelity,英文简称:WIFI)***、全球微波互联接入(英文名称:Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access,英文简称:WiMAX)***、***移动通信(英文名称:4G)***、4G演进***和第五代移动通信(英文名称:5G)***。本发明实施例提供的基站具体可以为第二代移动通信(英文名称:2G)基站,第三代移动通信(英文名称:3G)基站,LTE***中的基站(英文名称:Evolved NodeB,英文简称:eNB)、家庭演进型基站(英文名称:Home evolved Node B,英文简称:HeNB)、中继(英文名称:Relay)、毫微微(英文名称:Femto)基站、 微微(英文名称:Pico)基站、WIFI***中的接入点(英文名称:Access Point,英文简称:AP)、5G***中的基站。本发明实施例提供的终端具体为用户设备(英文名称:User Equipment,英文简称:UE)、客户终端设备(英文名称:Customer Premise Equipment,英文简称:CPE)、WIFI***中的站(英文名称:Station,英文简称:STA)和5G终端。
首先对本发明实施例提供的终端的切换方法的部署架构进行举例说明,如图1-a和图1-b所示,图1-a为本发明实施例提供的终端的切换方法的一种部署架构示意图,图1-b为本发明实施例提供的终端的切换方法的另一种部署架构示意图。图1-a和图1-b分别表示了本发明实施例提供的两种典型的部署场景,图1-a中在一个宏基站覆盖下,部署了多个小基站,终端在小基站间可以移动,同时可以接收到宏基站的无线信号。图1-a中,终端直接和宏基站通信,宏基站直接向终端发送控制信令,用于配置终端的无线资源参数。终端和多个小基站建立有数据连接,终端通过数据连接收发数据,宏基站和小基站之间通过接口相连。图1-b和图1-a的区别在于是否存在宏基站覆盖,当没有宏基站存在的场景时如图1-b所示,例如室内场景中,控制信令和数据连接都通过小基站进行发送,可以由其中的一个或几个小基站一起发送。图1-a和图1-b中,控制信令都是由一个集中式控制器管理和生成,并连接至多个小基站,图1-a中该集中式控制器的控制功能可以是宏基站的一部分,集中式控制器可以设置在宏基站中,通过宏基站的控制功能来实现集中式控制器。图1-b中该集中式控制器是一独立的控制器。需要说明的是,图1-a和图1-b中均没有示意出网关,在本发明实施例中网关可以和控制器连接。
接下来分别从控制器、终端、基站来说明本发明实施例提供的终端的切换方法,以下分别进行详细说明。
请参阅图2所示,本发明一个实施例提供的终端的切换方法,从控制器侧进行详细说明,该控制器可以执行如下步骤:
201、控制器将控制器配置的终端的无线标识和控制信道资源发送给终端。
在本发明实施例中,终端初始接入移动网络中,例如终端通过空口接入网络,经过鉴权,业务请求等流程后接入到移动网络中。当终端接入到网络之后,以终端停留在第一基站为例,控制器为该终端分配一个资源池,该资源池包括以下内容之一:终端的无线标识信息、控制信道资源,该控制信道资源可以包 括:下行控制信道和/或信号资源,上行控制信道和/或信号资源。不限制的是,控制器为终端配置的资源池还可以包括:小区配置信息。例如,控制器可以配置该终端附近的多个基站的小区配置信息。需要说明的是,在本发明实施例中,控制器为该终端分配的资源池在该终端附近的多个基站内均有效,即控制器为该终端配置的是通用的资源池信息,因此终端是不需要区分第一基站还是第二基站,终端均可以使用控制器配置的资源池。
在本发明的一些实施例中,步骤201控制器将控制器配置的终端的无线标识和控制信道资源发送给终端,具体包括如下步骤:控制器将终端的无线标识和控制信道资源发送给终端初始接入的基站,由初始接入的基站将终端的无线标识和控制信道资源发送给终端。
其中,当终端初始接入移动网络之后,控制器将终端的无线标识和控制信道资源发送给终端初始接入的基站,再由初始接入的基站将终端的无线标识和控制信道资源发送给终端。例如,终端初始接入的基站可以是第一基站,也可以是该终端进入第一基站的覆盖区域之前所在的另一个基站,具体实现方式不做限定。需要说明的是,本发明实施例中,控制器为终端配置的无线标识和控制信道资源是在终端初始接入移动网络时就已经配置给了该终端,当终端在多个基站间或小区间移动时,可以始终使用一个资源池,该资源池包括前述的无线标识和控制信道资源,而不需要重新进行配置,从而可以节省重配置信令,使得终端从一个基站移动到另个一个基站或从一个小区移动至另一小区时,无需等待新的配置,对终端来说可以是透明的或者是无感知的,终端初始接入的基站将终端的无线标识和控制信道资源发送给终端,后续无论终端切换到哪个基站,均不需要重新进行资源池配置。
202、当终端处于第一基站的覆盖区域时,控制器将终端的无线标识和控制信道资源发送给第一基站。
在本发明实施例中,当终端移动至第一基站的覆盖区域时,控制器将该控制器配置的、且已经发送给终端的无线标识和控制信道资源同样发送给第一基站。例如,控制器从资源池中获取到分配给第一基站的终端的无线标识和控制信道资源并向第一基站发送。另外,控制器和网关建立有连接,控制器可以获取到网关的传输配置信息,例如,该传输配置信息可以包括:网关的互联网协议(英文名称:Internet Protocol,英文简称:IP)地址和网关的隧道信息,本 发明的一些实施例中,控制器还可以向第一基站发送网关的传输配置信息,则网关和第一基站可以建立网关和第一基站之间的传输通道,网关和第一基站建立传输通道的过程可以参阅现有技术,此处不再赘述。
在本发明实施例中,网关和第一基站之间建有传输通道,第一基站获取到控制器分配的终端的无线标识和控制信道资源,则第一基站可以使用上述控制信道资源向终端发送控制信令,该控制信令可以是共享信道的调度信息,以指示终端在共享信道上传输数据。
203、控制器确定终端处于第二基站的覆盖区域,然后控制器将终端的无线标识和控制信道资源发送给第二基站,以便于通过控制信道资源,从第一基站和第二基站分别发出的控制信令被终端接收到。
在本发明实施例中,由步骤202可知,终端通过第一基站可以和网关之间进行通信,终端可以通过第一基站接收来自网关的下行数据,终端也可以通过第一基站向网关发送上行数据。由于终端的可移动性,终端在和网关通信的过程种终端可能发生移动,例如终端从第一基站向第二基站移动,本发明实施例中控制器先确定终端进入第二基站的覆盖区域内,然后控制器将该控制器配置的、且已经发送给终端的无线标识和控制信道资源同样发送给第二基站。例如,控制器从资源池中获取到分配给第二基站的终端的无线标识和控制信道资源并向第一基站发送。为了避免第一基站和第二基站都调度终端时导致的控制信道冲突,控制器分别发送给第一基站和第二基站的控制信道资源是不冲突的,例如控制器发送给第一基站和第二基站的控制信道资源可以是频分复用的。另外,在本发明的一些实施例中,控制器和网关建立有连接,控制器可以获取到网关的传输配置信息,控制器还可以向第二基站发送网关的传输配置信息,则网关和第二基站可以建立网关和第二基站之间的传输通道,网关和第二基站建立传输通道的过程可以参阅现有技术,此处不再赘述。
在本发明实施例中,网关和第二基站之间建立有传输通道,第二基站获取到控制器分配的控制信道资源,则第二基站可以使用控制信道资源向终端发送控制信令,该控制信令可以是共享信道的调度信息,以指示终端在共享信道上传输数据。
在本发明实施例中,终端从第一基站移动到第二基站,由于终端在初始接入时已经从控制器接收到了终端的无线标识和控制信道资源,对于终端来说从 第一基站移动到第二基站是无感知的,控制器可以确定终端是否进入第二基站的覆盖区域内,并在终端进入第二基站的覆盖区域之后,控制器还可以触发网关来建立网关和第二基站之间的传输通道,该传输通道建立完成后就可以用于该终端和网关通过第二基站进行通信了。
在本发明实施例中,控制器可以是移动网络中的一个单独控制设备,该控制器和第一基站、第二基站都建立有连接,例如,该控制器可以部署在图1-a中所示的宏基站上,或者该控制器可以为图1-b中所示的控制器。在本发明的另一些实施例中,控制器的控制功能可以由第一基站执行,即可以由第一基站来执行为终端发送终端的无线标识和控制信道资源。在本发明的另一些实施例中,控制器可以为控制器为分布式控制器,即分布式控制器可以部署在第一基站或者第二基站上,具体的,当终端处于第一基站的覆盖区域时,由第一基站执行控制器的控制功能,当终端处于第二基站的覆盖区域时,由第二基站执行控制器的控制功能。依此方式,当终端处于哪个基站的覆盖区域时,就可以由哪个基站来执行控制器的控制功能。因此控制器的控制功能是可以移动的,当终端从第一基站切换到第二基站时,第一基站可以向第二基站发送控制器移动指令,该控制器移动指令包括:终端的配置上下文。例如,该终端的配置上下文可以包括:终端的无线标识信息和终端的无线配置信息,在不同的实现方式下终端的配置上下文可以根据需要来灵活配置,具体此处不做限定。
需要说明的是,在本发明实施例中,第二基站是处于终端所在位置的预置范围内除第一基站以外的基站,例如,第二基站可以是第一基站附近的邻居基站,第二基站也可以是按照终端所在位置来确定的周围的基站,由于终端在移动时总是从该终端所在的第一基站向第一基站的相邻基站来移动,因此控制器在终端初始接入网络时就将终端可能切换到的所有基站的配置信息以及这些基站可能用到的控制信道资源都配置给终端,那么终端就可以获取到该终端所在位置附近的所有基站的配置情况以及使用的资源情况,即使终端发生移动,从一个基站切换到另一个基站,终端也无需重新获取控制信道资源。
在本发明的一些实施例中,上述步骤203中的控制器确定终端处于第二基站的覆盖区域,可包括如下步骤:
A1、控制器接收基站转发的来自于终端的测量报告,来自于终端的测量报告是终端按照控制器提供的测量配置信息进行信道测量并由终端判断出第 二基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量满足预置的第一信道条件时终端发送的,控制器根据终端发送的测量报告确定终端处于第二基站的覆盖区域;或,
A2、控制器接收基站发送的第一测量报告,基站发送的第一测量报告是基站根据终端发送的测量结果判断出基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量满足预置的第二信道条件时发送的,终端发送的测量结果是终端按照控制器提供的测量配置信息进行信道测量后生成的,控制器根据基站发送的测量报告确定终端处于第二基站的覆盖区域;或,
A3、控制器接收基站发送的测量结果,基站发送的测量结果是基站对终端发送的位置跟踪信号进行信道测量后生成的,控制器根据基站发送的测量结果判断出第二基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量满足预置的第三信道条件,控制器确定终端处于第二基站的覆盖区域;或,
A4、控制器接收基站发送的第二测量报告,基站发送的第二测量报告是基站对终端发送的位置跟踪信号进行信道测量并判断出基站与终端之间的无线信道测量量满足预置的第四信道条件时发送的,控制器根据基站发送的测量报告确定终端处于第二基站的覆盖区域;
其中,基站是:第一基站和/或第二基站。
接下来分别对步骤A1、步骤A2、步骤A3、步骤A4中记载的控制器确定终端处于第二基站的覆盖区域的几种可能的实现方式进行详细说明。
在步骤A1中,控制器提供测量配置信息,终端可以按照该测量配置信息进行信道测量,然后终端对第二基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量进行判断,判断出第二基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量是否满足预置的第一信道条件,当满足该第一信道条件时终端向基站(即第一基站和/或第二基站)发送测量报告,该测量报告具体可以为:信道质量指示(英文名称:Channel Quality Indicator,英文简称:CQI)测量信息,基站再将接收到的测量报告转发给控制器,控制器可以根据终端发送的测量报告确定终端处于第二基站的覆盖区域。其中,第一信道条件的具体配置可以结合具体的应用场景来实现,此处不做限定。
在步骤A2中,控制器提供测量配置信息,终端可以按照该测量配置信息进行信道测量,然后终端将测量结果发送给基站(例如可以是第一基站和/或第二基站),基站接收到终端发送的测量结果之后,基站可以对基站与终端之 间的无线信号测量量进行判断,判断出基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量是否满足预置的第二信道条件,例如,第一基站可以对第一基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量进行判断,第二基站也可以对第二基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量进行判断。当满足该第二信道条件时基站将测量报告发送给控制器,控制器可以根据基站发送的测量报告确定终端处于第二基站的覆盖区域。其中,第二信道条件的具体配置可以结合具体的应用场景来实现,此处不做限定。
在步骤A3中,终端发送位置跟踪信号,该位置跟踪信号具体可以为:探测参考信号(英文名称:Sounding Reference Signal,英文简称:SRS)或者发现(英文名称:Discovery)信号。基站可以对终端发送的位置跟踪信号进行信道测量并生成测量结果,然后基站向控制器发送测量结果,控制器根据基站生成的测量结果对第二基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量进行判断,判断出第二基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量是否满足预置的第三信道条件,当满足该第三信道条件时控制器确定终端处于第二基站的覆盖区域。其中,第三信道条件的具体配置可以结合具体的应用场景来实现,此处不做限定。
在步骤A4中,终端发送位置跟踪信号,基站可以对终端发送的位置跟踪信号进行信道测量并生成测量结果,然后基站根据该测量结果对基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量进行判断,判断出该基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量是否满足预置的第四信道条件,例如,第一基站可以对第一基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量进行判断,第二基站也可以对第二基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量进行判断。当满足该第四信道条件时基站将测量报告发送给控制器,控制器可以根据基站发送的测量报告确定终端处于第二基站的覆盖区域。其中,第四信道条件的具体配置可以结合具体的应用场景来实现,此处不做限定。
在本发明的一些实施例中,本发明提供的终端的切换方法还可以包括如下步骤:
B1、控制器接收网关发送的数据传输状态信息,数据传输状态信息包括如下信息中的至少一种:网关和第一基站之间的数据传输状态、网关和第二基站之间的数据传输状态;
B2、当控制器确定网关和第一基站之间的数据传输状态不符合预置的传输条件时,控制器向网关或第一基站发送拆除指令,由网关或第一基站拆除网关和第一基站之间的传输通道。
其中,网关和终端可以通过第一基站和第二基站同时进行数据传输,在该数据传输过程中,网关还可以向控制器上报数据传输状态信息,该数据传输状态信息可以指示当前流量、数据传输速率,数据缓冲区大小等,控制器可以根据该数据传输状态信息判断哪条链路的数据传输状态不符合预置的传输条件,例如当终端从第一基站切换到第二基站之后,终端通过第一基站和网关之间的数据传输量就会减少或者没有数据量传输,在这种情况下,网关和第一基站之间的数据传输状态不符合预置的传输条件,控制器向网关或第一基站发送通道拆除指令,由网关或第一基站拆除网关和第一基站之间的传输通道,通过将闲置的传输通道拆除,可以提高数据的传输效率。
通过前述举例对本发明的描述可知,控制器配置终端的无线标识和控制信道资,然后控制器将配置的终端的无线标识和控制信道资发送给终端,当终端处于第一基站的覆盖区域时,控制器将终端的无线标识和控制信道资源发送给第一基站,控制器确定终端处于第二基站的覆盖区域,然后控制器将终端的无线标识和控制信道资源发送给第二基站,以便于通过控制信道资源,从第一基站和第二基站分别发出的控制信令被终端接收到。本发明实施例中控制器为终端分配该终端在第一基站和该终端切换到的第二基站都可以使用的终端标识和控制信道资源,当终端处于第一基站的覆盖区域时,控制器将配置给终端的无线标识和控制信道资源同样发送给第一基站,控制器确定终端处于第二基站的覆盖区域,控制器将配置给终端的无线标识和控制信道资源同样发送给第二基站。因此终端在第一基站和第二基站等这些基站间移动时,终端可以始终使用控制器配置的无线标识和控制信道资源,而不需要重新进行配置,可以节省重配置信令,终端在从第一基站切换到第二基站的过程中数据传输不会中断,数据传输效率很高。
上述实施例从控制器侧介绍了本发明实施例提供的终端的切换方法,接下来从终端侧介绍本发明实施例提供的终端的切换方法,如图3所示,本发明实施例提供的终端的切换方法,可以包括如下步骤:
301、终端从控制器接收终端的无线标识信息和控制器配置的控制信道资源。
在本发明实施例中,控制器可以为终端分配资源池,控制器向终端发送终 端的无线标识信息和控制器配置的控制信道资源。例如,控制器可以向终端发送用户面节点配置信息,则终端通过该用户面节点配置信息可以获取到终端的无线标识信息和控制器配置的控制信道资源。其中,终端的无线标识信息具体可以终端的小区无线网络临时标识(英文名称:Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier,英文简称:CRNTI),也可以指的是终端的其它标识,此处不做限定。
在本发明实施例中,控制器可以是移动网络中的一个单独控制设备,该控制器和第一基站、第二基站都建立有连接,例如,该控制器可以部署在图1-a中所示的宏基站上,或者该控制器可以为图1-b中所示的控制器。在本发明的另一些实施例中,控制器的控制功能可以由第一基站执行,即可以由第一基站来执行为终端发送终端的无线标识和控制信道资源。在本发明的另一些实施例中,控制器可以为控制器为分布式控制器,即分布式控制器可以部署在第一基站或者第二基站上,具体的,当终端处于第一基站的覆盖区域时,由第一基站执行控制器的控制功能,当终端处于第二基站的覆盖区域时,由第二基站执行控制器的控制功能。依此方式,当终端处于哪个基站的覆盖区域时,就可以由哪个基站来执行控制器的控制功能。因此控制器的控制功能是可以移动的,当终端从第一基站切换到第二基站时,第一基站可以向第二基站发送控制器移动指令,该控制器移动指令包括:终端的配置上下文。例如,该终端的配置上下文可以包括:终端的无线标识信息和终端的无线配置信息,在不同的实现方式下终端的配置上下文可以根据需要来灵活配置,具体此处不做限定。
在本发明的一些实施例中,本发明提供的终端的切换方法还可以包括如下步骤:
C1、终端根据控制器提供的测量配置信息进行信道测量,根据生成的测量结果判断第二基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量是否满足预置的第一信道条件,当第二基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量满足预置的第一信道条件时,终端通过基站向控制器发送测量报告;或,
C2、终端根据控制器提供的测量配置信息进行信道测量,并向基站发送终端生成的测量结果;或,
C3、终端根据控制器提供的信号配置信息发送位置跟踪信号。
其中,在步骤C1中,控制器提供测量配置信息,终端可以按照该测量配 置信息进行信道测量,然后终端对第二基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量进行判断,判断出第二基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量是否满足预置的第一信道条件,当满足该第一信道条件时终端向基站(即第一基站和/或第二基站)发送测量报告,该测量报告具体可以为:CQI测量信息,基站再将接收到的测量报告转发给控制器。
在步骤C2中,控制器提供测量配置信息,终端可以按照该测量配置信息进行信道测量,然后终端将测量结果发送给基站(例如可以是第一基站和/或第二基站)。
在步骤C3中,控制器提供信号配置信息,终端可以发送位置跟踪信号,该位置跟踪信号具体可以为:SRS或者Discovery号。
302、终端根据控制信道资源接收基站发送的控制信号,其中,该基站是:第一基站和/或第二基站。
在本发明实施例中,在终端处于第一基站的覆盖区域时网关建立有网关和第一基站之间的传输通道,随着终端从第一基站向第二基站移动,控制器确定终端进入第二基站的覆盖区域之后,网关可以建立网关和第二基站之间的传输通道。第一基站和第二基站都可以使用控制器从资源池中分配的控制信道资源来发送控制信令,只需要保证两个基站使用的控制信道资源不冲突即可,实现两个基站对终端的同时调度,例如,控制器为第一基站和第二基站分配的可以是不同的控制信道资源,因此不会存在控制信道资源的冲突。当终端接收到基站发送的控制信令之后,执行后续步骤303。
303、终端根据控制信令在共享信道上传输数据,该共享信道为基站和终端之间配置的传输信道。
在本发明实施例中,通过步骤302可知,终端可以根据控制信令从基站得到基站和终端之间的共享信道的调度信息,则终端可以使用基站和终端之间的共享信道进行数据传输。例如,在本发明的一些实施例中,步骤303中终端根据控制信令在共享信道上传输数据,具体可包括如下步骤:
D1、终端在共享信道上接收第一基站和/或第二基站发送的下行数据;和/或,
D2、终端在共享信道上向第一基站和/或第二基站发送上行数据。
也就是说,在本发明实施例中的传输数据可以指终端接收下行数据、终端 发送上行数据中的至少一种,具体实现取决于哪个基站发送控制信令以及控制信令指示的资源调度。
通过前述举例对本发明的描述可知,本发明实施例中控制器为终端分配该终端在第一基站和该终端切换到的第二基站都可以使用的终端标识和控制信道资源,当终端处于第一基站的覆盖区域时,控制器将配置给终端的无线标识和控制信道资源同样发送给第一基站,控制器确定终端处于第二基站的覆盖区域,控制器将配置给终端的无线标识和控制信道资源同样发送给第二基站。因此终端在第一基站和第二基站等这些基站间移动时,终端可以始终使用控制器配置的无线标识和控制信道资源,而不需要重新进行配置,可以节省重配置信令,终端在从第一基站切换到第二基站的过程中数据传输不会中断,数据传输效率很高。
上述实施例从控制器侧和终端侧介绍了本发明实施例提供的终端的切换方法,接下来从终端所在的基站侧介绍本发明实施例提供的终端的切换方法,如图4所示,本发明实施例提供的终端的切换方法,可以包括如下步骤:

E4、基站对终端发送的位置跟踪信号进行信道测量,基站判断出基站与终端之间的无线信道测量量满足预置的第四信道条件时,基站向控制器发送基站生成的测量报告。
接下来分别对步骤E1、步骤E2、步骤E3、步骤E4中记载的控制器确定终端处于第二基站的覆盖区域的几种可能的实现方式进行详细说明。
在步骤E1中,控制器提供测量配置信息,终端可以按照该测量配置信息进行信道测量,然后终端对第二基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量进行判断,判断出第二基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量是否满足预置的第一信道条件,当满足该第一信道条件时终端向基站(即第一基站和/或第二基站)发送测量报告,基站再将接收到的测量报告转发给控制器。
在步骤E2中,控制器提供测量配置信息,终端可以按照该测量配置信息进行信道测量,然后终端将测量结果发送给基站(例如可以是第一基站和/或第二基站),基站接收到终端发送的测量结果之后,基站可以对基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量进行判断,判断出基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量是否满足预置的第二信道条件,例如,第一基站可以对第一基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量进行判断,第二基站也可以对第二基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量进行判断。当满足该第二信道条件时基站将测量报告发送给控制器。
在步骤E3中,终端发送位置跟踪信号,基站可以对终端发送的位置跟踪信号进行信道测量并生成测量结果,然后基站向控制器发送测量结果。其中,第三信道条件的具体配置可以结合具体的应用场景来实现,此处不做限定。
在步骤E4中,终端发送位置跟踪信号,基站可以对终端发送的位置跟踪 信号进行信道测量并生成测量结果,然后基站根据该测量结果对基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量进行判断,判断出该基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量是否满足预置的第四信道条件,例如,第一基站可以对第一基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量进行判断,第二基站也可以对第二基站与终端之间的无线信号测量量进行判断。当满足该第四信道条件时基站将测量报告发送给控制器。第四信道条件的具体配置可以结合具体的应用场景来实现,此处不做限定。
402、基站使用控制信道资源向终端发送控制信令。
在本发明实施例中,基站从控制器接收到控制器分配给终端的控制信道资源之后,基站可以使用控制信道资源向终端发送控制信令,该控制信令可以是共享信道的调度信息,以指示终端在共享信道上传输数据。
403、基站通过基站和终端之间的共享信道传输数据。
在本发明实施例中,基站和终端建立有共享信道,该共享信道用于传输数据,在本发明实施例中的传输数据可以指终端接收下行数据、终端发送上行数据中的至少一种,具体实现取决于基站发送的控制信令。
在本发明的一些实施例中,当基站为第一基站时,由第一基站执行控制器的控制功能;或,当终端处于第一基站的覆盖区域时,由第一基站执行控制器的控制功能,当终端处于第二基站的覆盖区域时,第一基站向第二基站发送控制功能移动指令,控制功能移动指令包括:终端的配置上下文。
在本发明实施例中,控制器可以为移动网络中的一个单独控制设备,该控制器和第一基站、第二基站都建立有连接,例如,该控制器可以部署在图1-a中所示的宏基站上,或者该控制器可以为图1-b中所示的控制器。在本发明的另一些实施例中,控制器的控制功能可以由第一基站执行,即可以由第一基站来执行为终端发送终端的无线标识和控制信道资源。在本发明的另一些实施例中,控制器可以为控制器为分布式控制器,即分布式控制器可以部署在第一基站或者第二基站上,具体的,当终端处于第一基站的覆盖区域时,由第一基站执行控制器的控制功能,当终端处于第二基站的覆盖区域时,由第二基站执行控制器的控制功能。依此方式,当终端处于哪个基站的覆盖区域时,就可以由哪个基站来执行控制器的控制功能。因此控制器的控制功能是可以移动的,当终端从第一基站切换到第二基站时,第一基站可以向第二基站发送控制器移动指令,该控制器移动指令包括:终端的配置上下文。例如,该终端的配置上下 文可以包括:终端的无线标识信息和终端的无线配置信息,在不同的实现方式下终端的配置上下文可以根据需要来灵活配置,具体此处不做限定。
通过前述举例对本发明的描述可知,本发明实施例中控制器为终端分配该终端在第一基站和该终端切换到的第二基站都可以使用的终端标识和控制信道资源,当终端处于第一基站的覆盖区域时,控制器将配置给终端的无线标识和控制信道资源同样发送给第一基站,控制器确定终端处于第二基站的覆盖区域,控制器将配置给终端的无线标识和控制信道资源同样发送给第二基站。因此终端在第一基站和第二基站等这些基站间移动时,终端可以始终使用控制器配置的无线标识和控制信道资源,而不需要重新进行配置,可以节省重配置信令,终端在从第一基站切换到第二基站的过程中数据传输不会中断,数据传输效率很高。
为便于更好的理解和实施本发明实施例的上述方案,下面举例相应的应用场景来进行具体说明。
请参阅如图5-a和图5-b所示,为本发明实施例中终端的切换方法的两种应用场景示意图,接下来分别进行举例说明。首先请参阅如图5-a所示,以终端具体为UE、第一基站具体为用户面节点1(英文名称:UP node1)、第二基站具体为用户面节点2(英文名称:UP node2)、网关具体为用户面网关(英文全称:User Plane Gateway,英文简称:UP GW)为例,终端可以通过任一无线接入节点接入网络,终端在如图1-a中的小基站下的小区或者宏基站下的小区或者图1-b中的小基站下的小区驻留后,通过空口接入网络,经过鉴权,业务请求等流程之后,执行如下步骤:
S01、控制器向UP node1发送用户面节点配置信息。
S02、控制器向UE发送无线资源控制(英文全称:Radio Resource Control,英文简称:RRC)重配置命令。
S03、UPGW向UPnode1发送下行数据,UPnode1向UE发送增强物理下行控制信道(英文全称:Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel,英文简称:EPDCCH)或物理下行共享信道(英文全称:Physical Downlink Shared Channel,英文简称:PDSCH)。
S04、控制器通过如下三种的移动准则中的至少一种确定UE进入UPnode2 的覆盖区域,主要有如下三种实现方式:
ALT1、UE向控制器发送的测量报告。
ALT2、UPnode1向控制器发送测量报告。
ALT3、UPnode2向控制器发送测量报告。
S05、控制器从资源池中向UPnode1分配控制信道资源。
S06、控制器从资源池中向UPnode2分配控制信道资源。
S07、控制器向UPGW发送数据流分配请求。
S08、UPGW将数据流分为两个部分,一个部分发送通过UPnode1发送给UE,另一个部分通过UPnode2发送给UE。
S09、UPGW向控制器发送数据传输状态信息。
S10、控制器向UPnode1发送用户面节点移除指令。
S11、UPnode1向UPGW发送数据回传指令。
在前述的步骤S01至步骤S11中,由控制器分配终端使用一个资源池,该资源池在多个基站内或多个小区内有效。因此终端在这些基站间或小区间移动时,可以始终使用一个资源池,而不需要重新进行配置,从而可以节省重配置信令,使得终端从一个基站移动到另个一个基站或从一个小区移动至另一小区时,无需等待新小区的配置给终端,对终端来说可以是透明的或者是无感知的。在对于上述图1-a和图1-b的两个典型场景下,由于小基站在同一区域内部署可以采用相同或者类似的公共配置,如这些配置可以由控制器管理,如在图1-a所述的场景,宏基站可以广播小基站的公共配置信息,因此终端可以在宏基站获取小基站的配置即可,终端可以从宏站获取多个小基站共同的公共配置信息,对于不同的配置信息,可以由小基站下小区进行广播或者也在宏站进行广播,终端可以通过小基站或小区的标识信息区别不同的公共配置信息。对于图1-b所示的场景,由于控制器没有无线传输能力,因此需要通过各个基站的无线空口统一进行小基站公共配置的发送,多个基站可以再空口进行同步,使用一个相同的小区标识,和图1-a中的宏基站一样,多个基站同步的发送小基站的公共配置信息。终端可以从任一小基站或小基站下的小区获取配置信息。
在前述的步骤S01至步骤S11中,控制器通过专用信令配置,如RRC配置消息,配置终端的无线标识信息如C-RNTI为终端分配资源池,该资源池中的下行控制信道资源可以为EPDCCH资源,该资源池中还可能包括上行控制 信道资源,例如增强物理上行控制信道(英文全称:Enhanced Physical Uplink Control Channel,英文简称:EPUCCH),该资源池还可以包括:上下行的共享数据信道配置,如时频资源位置。控制器通过空口发送给终端,在图1-a场景中是通过宏基站发送,而在图1-b中通过终端接入的小基站或者终端附近的小基站发送给终端。同时控制器也将上述配置通知到终端当前所在的小基站,也可以同时通知其周围的一些小基站。如在下行调度时,由图5-a中所述,小基站即UP node1通过资源池中下行控制信道资源给终端发送下行控制信令,如发送下行或者上行共享数据信道的调度信息用于指示终端在共享数据信道上接收或者发送数据。
当终端移动至UP node1和UP node2边界时,控制器通过如下方式确定终端进入了UP node2的覆盖区域:
选项一:终端根据控制器配置的测量报告,测得来自UP node2的无线信号测量量满足信号量阈值,如UP node2的无线信号测量量大于UP node1的无线信号测量量3dB时,终端上报测量结果通知控制器,对于图1-b所述场景,测量报告由小基站Up node1转发至控制器。
选项二,UP node1可以根据终端上报的CQI测量信息,或者终端对UP node2的CQI测量信息大于信道质量门限,通过基站间接口通知控制器。终端可以在上述上行控制信道资源内发送CQI测量信息,UP node1和UPnode2监听并接收。
选项三,UP node2根据终端发送的SRS或者Discovery信号,判断当终端接近UP node2时,UP node2通过基站间接口通知控制器。为了避免所有的UP node都要盲检所有的终端,可以由控制器控制指定的UP node对一些终端进行检测,例如控制器可以指示终端当前所在基站相邻的基站进行终端的检测。
控制器可以通过上述的方式判断终端是否进入UP node2的覆盖区域,数据是否可以通过UP node2进行传输。控制器通过在上述终端专用的资源池内的下行控制信道资源分别分配给UP node1和UP node2使用。如可以资源池中的下行控制信道资源分为两个部分,一个给UP node1使用,一个给UP node2使用,从而避免两个UP node在同时调度一个终端时,下行控制信道发生冲突。配置信息可以通过基站间接口通知给UP node,同时通知用户面网关,将部分数据分流至UP node2,为了UP node2和用户面网关可以相互通讯,在通知信 息中可以携带UP node2的传输配置信息,如IP地址,隧道信息等。在之前发送给UP node的配置信息中携带用户面网关的传输配置信息,以便UP node和用户面网关之间建立传输通道。通过上述方式,控制器可以管理多个UP node共享终端专用的资源池,如果UP node数量变多,可以通过空口配置消息,增加专资源池的资源数量。因此终端在接收该资源池时,可以同时接收来自多个UP node的调度信息,和多个UP node进行传输。而多个UP node可以共享相同的UE相关的配置信息,因此在UE并不需要区分不同的UP node接收的控制信息。终端通过多个UP node和用户面网关之间进行数据的传输。用户面网关可以根据流控信息,在不同的链路之间分配数据流量。用户面网关还可以和控制器之间交互数据传输状态信息。当某一链路长时间没有数据时或者根据移动性终端移出UP node的覆盖区域时,控制器可以通知用户面网关拆除该链路,UP node未传完的数据会回传至用户面网关。用户面网关和控制器可以是分离的节点或者同一个节点,当是同一节点时,用户面网关和控制器之间的接口为内部接口,属于内部实现。
接下来请参阅如图5-b所示,以终端具体为UE、第一基站具体为UP node1、第二基站具体为用UP node2、网关具体为UP GW为例,图5-a中所示的是控制器具体为分布式控制器的场景,控制器可以在任意一个小基站上进行部署。终端在初始接入时,控制器位于初始接入的小基站UPnode1上。终端可以通过任一无线接入节点接入网络,终端在如图1-a中的小基站下的小区或者宏基站下的小区或者图1-b中的小基站下的小区驻留后,通过空口接入网络,经过鉴权,业务请求等流程之后,执行如下步骤:
P01、UP node1向UE发送RRC重配置命令。
P02、UPGW向UPnode1发送下行数据,UPnode1向UE发送EPDCCH或PDSCH。
P03、UP node1通过如下三种的移动准则中的至少一种确定UE进入UPnode2的覆盖区域,主要有如下三种实现方式:
ALT1、UE向UP node1发送的测量报告。
ALT2、UPnode1自己生成测量报告。
ALT3、UPnode2向UP node1发送测量报告。
P04、UPnode1从资源池中向UPnode2分配控制信道资源。
P05、UPnode2向UPnode1发送确认信息。
P06、UPnode1向UPGW发送数据流分配请求。
P07、UPGW将数据流分为两个部分,一个部分发送通过UPnode1发送给UE,另一个部分通过UPnode2发送给UE。
P09、UPnode1向UPnode2发送控制器移动指令。
P10、UPnode2向UPnode1发送控制器移动响应。
在前述的步骤P01至步骤P10中,UPnode1为终端配置RRC配置消息,分配终端的无线标识信息如C-RNTI为终端分配资源池,该资源池中的下行控制信道资源可以为EPDCCH资源,该资源池中还可能包括上行控制信道资源,例如EPUCCH,该资源池还可以包括:上下行的共享数据信道配置,如时频资源位置,控制器通过空口发送给终端。在图1-a场景中是通过宏基站发送,而在图1-b中通过终端接入的小基站或者终端附近的小基站发送给终端。UPnode1作为控制器可以从资源管理节点获取终端的资源池配置。资源管理节点管理范围和图5-a中的控制器类似。
当终端移动至UPnode1和UPnode2边界时,类似图5-b中所示的如下方式,UPnode1可以确定终端进入了UPnode2的覆盖区域:
选项一:终端根据控制器配置的测量报告,测得来自UPnode2的无线信号测量量满足信号量阈值,如UPnode2的无线信号测量量大于UPnode1的无线信号测量量3dB时,终端上报测量报告通知控制器,即UPnode1。
选项二,UPnode1可以根据终端上报的CQI测量信息,或者终端对UPnode2的CQI信息大于信道质量门限,通过基站间接口通知控制器。终端可以在上述上行控制信道资源内发送CQI测量信息,UPnode1监听并接收。
选项三,UPnode2根据终端发送的上行信号,如终端可以在上述上行控制信道资源内发SRS或者Discovery信号,判断当终端接近UPnode2时,UPnode2通过基站间接口通知控制器。为了避免所有的UPnode都要盲检所有的终端,可以由控制器控制指定的UPnode对一些终端进行检测,例如控制器可以指示终端当前所在基站相邻的基站进行终端的检测。本实施例中UPnode1可以通过相邻的UPnode检测终端,通知消息中携带终端的上行信号的特征信息,如上行信号的序列信息或者标识信息。
UPnode1通过上述的方式判断终端是否进入UPnode2的覆盖区域,数据 是否可以通过UPnode2进行传输。UPnode1通过在上述终端专用的资源池内的资源分别分配给UPnode1和UPnode2使用。如可以资源池分为两个部分,一个给UPnode1使用,一个由UPnode2使用,从而避免两个UPnode在同时调度一个终端时,控制信道发生冲突。配置信息可以通过基站间接口通知给UPnode。同时UPnode1通知用户面网关,将部分数据分流至UPnode2,为了UPnode2和用户面网关可以相互通讯,在通知信息中可以携带UPnode2的传输配置信息,如IP地址,隧道信息等。在之前发送给UPnode的配置信息中携带用户面网关的传输配置信息,以便UPnode和用户面网关之间建立传输通道。通过上述方式,控制器可以管理多个UPnode共享终端专用的资源池,如果UPnode数量变多,可以通过空口配置消息,增加资源池的下行控制信道资源数量。因此终端在接收该资源池时,可以同时接收来自多个UPnode的调度信息,和多个UPnode进行传输。而多个UPnode可以共享相同的UE相关的配置信息,因此在UE并不需要区分不同的UPnode接收控制信息。终端通过多个UPnode和用户面网关之间进行数据的传输。用户面网关可以根据流控信息,在不同的链路之间分配数据流量。用户面网关还可以和控制器之间交互数据传输状态信息。当某一链路长时间没有数据时或者根据移动性终端移出UPnode的覆盖区域时,控制器可以通知用户面网关拆除该链路,UPnode未传完的数据会回传至用户面网关。
图5-b与图5-a区别还在于:UPnode上的控制器功能可以移动,当终端移出UPnode1的覆盖区域时,UPnode1可以向UPnode2发起控制器移动过程,将终端的配置上下文发送给UPnode2,并且释放对终端资源池的使用。当控制器移动至UPnode2后,UPnode2开始处理终端的移动过程,UPnode1中可以删除终端的配置上下文。
通过前述对本发明实施例的举例说明可知,本发明实施例中改进切换方案定,可以达到终端平滑切换,并且节点间松耦合,减少对节点间传输承载的要求,避免联合调度或者联合传输等紧耦合的小区间协作,以便在广泛的场景下进行部署。
需要说明的是,对于前述的各方法实施例,为了简单描述,故将其都表述为一系列的动作组合,但是本领域技术人员应该知悉,本发明并不受所描述的动作顺序的限制,因为依据本发明,某些步骤可以采用其他顺序或者同 时进行。其次,本领域技术人员也应该知悉,说明书中所描述的实施例均属于优选实施例,所涉及的动作和模块并不一定是本发明所必须的。
