技术领域technical field

本申请涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及小区选择方法、装置及***。The present application relates to the technical field of communications, and in particular to a cell selection method, device and system.

背景技术Background technique

随着通信技术的发展，第五代移动通信技术(5th generation，5G)新无线(new radio，NR)引入了网络切片(network slicing)。其中，网络切片可以在保证用户的服务质量(quality of service，QoS)基础上，实现不同用户的隔离，从而保障用户的服务等级协议(service level agreement，SLA)。With the development of communication technology, the fifth generation mobile communication technology (5th generation, 5G) new radio (new radio, NR) introduces network slicing (network slicing). Among them, network slicing can realize the isolation of different users on the basis of ensuring the quality of service (QoS) of users, so as to guarantee the service level agreement (SLA) of users.

然而，在终端设备的移动过程中，终端设备接入的不同小区，其所属的网络切片的能力可能不同，例如支持的网络切片的类型不同，或者可分配给网络切片的资源不同等。如果正在运行某个切片业务的终端设备切换小区时，选择的目标小区所属的网络切片的能力不支持该切片业务，例如目标小区所属的网络切片的切片类型不支持该切片业务或者目标小区所属的网络切片的切片资源不足，则终端设备当前运行的切片业务的连续性不能保证。However, during the mobile process of the terminal device, different cells accessed by the terminal device may have different capabilities of the network slices to which they belong, for example, different types of supported network slices, or different resources that can be allocated to network slices, etc. If a terminal device that is running a slice service switches cells, the capability of the selected network slice to which the target cell belongs does not support the slice service, for example, the slice type of the network slice to which the target cell belongs does not support the slice service or the network slice to which the target cell belongs If the slicing resources of the network slicing are insufficient, the continuity of the slicing service currently running on the terminal device cannot be guaranteed.

目前的方案中，由终端设备原本接入的源小区，根据邻区所属的网络切片是否过载的信息，为终端设备选择用于切换的目标小区，但是该方案仅考虑了网络切片是否过载，确定出的目标小区可能无法满足终端设备运行的切片业务的需求。In the current scheme, the source cell originally accessed by the terminal device selects the target cell for handover for the terminal device according to whether the network slice to which the adjacent cell belongs is overloaded. However, this scheme only considers whether the network slice is overloaded. The selected target cell may not be able to meet the requirements of the slicing service run by the terminal device.

因此，如何使终端设备接入的目标小区满足终端设备运行的切片业务的需求，是目前亟待解决的问题。Therefore, how to make the target cell accessed by the terminal device meet the requirements of the slice service operated by the terminal device is an urgent problem to be solved at present.

具体实施方式detailed description

详细描述本申请实施例之前，为了便于理解本申请实施例的技术方案，首先给出本申请相关技术名词的简要介绍如下：Before describing the embodiment of the present application in detail, in order to facilitate the understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiment of the present application, a brief introduction of the relevant technical terms of the present application is given as follows:

1、网络切片：1. Network slicing:

网络切片就是将一个物理网络切割成多个虚拟的端到端的网络，每一个都可获得逻辑独立的网络资源，且各切片之间可相互隔离。因此，当某一个切片中产生错误或故障时，并不会影响其他切片。而5G***的网络切片，就是将5G网络切出多张虚拟网络，从而支持更多业务。目前，对应于5G网络的各个场景，网络切片包括增强型移动宽带(enhanced mobile broadband，eMBB)切片，高可靠和低延迟通信(ultra-reliable and low latency communications，uRLLC)切片和大规模机器类型通信(massive machine type communication，mMTC)切片等类型。Network slicing is to divide a physical network into multiple virtual end-to-end networks, each of which can obtain logically independent network resources, and each slice can be isolated from each other. Therefore, when an error or failure occurs in one slice, it does not affect other slices.

After the first network device receives the measurement report reported by the terminal device, , the neighbor cell corresponding to the identifier information may be determined as the first neighbor cell according to the acquired identifier information of the cell.

需要说明的是，上述两种第一网络设备确定第一邻小区的实现方式中，第二种实现方式中终端设备发送的测量报告中包括的第一邻小区，可以为第一种实现方式中终端设备发送的测量报告中包括的第二邻小区。换言之，第一种实现方式可以为在第二种实现方式的基础上，第一网络设备在终端设备发送的测量报告包括的邻小区中进一步筛选从而得到第一邻小区的实现方式。It should be noted that, in the above two implementation manners in which the first network device determines the first neighbor cell, the first neighbor cell included in the measurement report sent by the terminal device in the second implementation manner may be the first neighbor cell in the first implementation manner The second neighboring cell included in the measurement report sent by the terminal device. In other words, the first implementation manner may be based on the second implementation manner, in which the first network device further screens the neighboring cells included in the measurement report sent by the terminal device to obtain the first neighboring cell.

可以理解的是，如果终端设备要得到测量报告，终端设备需要对邻小区进行测量并得到测量结果。本申请实施例中，终端设备进行测量的邻小区是第一网络设备下发给终端设备的。因此，可选的，在第一网络设备接收来自终端设备的测量报告之前，本申请实施例提供的小区选择方法包括：第一网络设备确定一个或多个第三邻小区，第三邻小区为支持终端设备运行的切片业务的邻小区。第一网络设备将一个或多个第三邻小区的测量配置信息发送给终端设备；其中，一个或多个第三邻小区的测量配置信息用于终端设备对所述一个或多个第三邻小区进行测量。It can be understood that, if the terminal device wants to obtain a measurement report, the terminal device needs to measure neighboring cells and obtain a measurement result. In the embodiment of the present application, the neighbor cell that the terminal device measures is delivered to the terminal device by the first network device. Therefore, optionally, before the first network device receives the measurement report from the terminal device, the cell selection method provided in this embodiment of the present application includes: the first network device determines one or more third neighboring cells, and the third neighboring cells are Adjacent cells that support slice services run by terminal equipment. The first network device sends the measurement configuration information of one or more third neighboring cells to the terminal device; wherein, the measurement configuration information of the one or more third neighboring cells is used by the terminal device to measure the one or more third neighboring cells The area is measured.

具体地，第一网络设备可以根据终端设备运行的切片业务，确定出支持终端设备运行的切片业务的第三邻小区，并将第三邻小区的测量配置信息发送给终端设备。其中，第三邻小区的测量配置信息包括第三邻小区的小区ID和第三邻小区的频点信息。终端设备收到第三邻小区的测量配置信息后，可以根据第三邻小区的小区ID，确定要进行测量的邻小区，并可以根据与小区ID对应的频点信息，对频点信息所指示的频点进行测量，得到小区ID指示的第三邻小区的测量结果。Specifically, the first network device may determine a third neighboring cell that supports the slice service run by the terminal device according to the slice service run by the terminal device, and send measurement configuration information of the third neighboring cell to the terminal device.

因为本方案中，第一网络设备先确定出支持终端设备运行的切片业务的邻小区，再将支持切片业务的邻小区下发给终端设备进行测量，终端设备无需测量不支持终端设备切片业务的邻小区，减少了终端设备的测量开销。进一步地，因为终端设备测量的邻小区都是支持终端设备切片业务的邻小区，可以理解的是，终端设备发送的测量报告指示的邻小区也均为支持终端设备切片业务的邻小区，第一网络设备根据终端设备发送的测量报告确定的第一邻小区也均为支持终端设备切片业务的邻小区，可以保证终端设备切换至的目标小区支持终端设备运行的切片业务，进而保证终端设备运行的切片业务的连续性。Because in this solution, the first network device first determines the neighboring cells that support the slicing service run by the terminal device, and then sends the neighboring cells that support the slicing service to the terminal device for measurement, and the terminal device does not need to measure the cells that do not support the slicing service of the terminal device. Neighboring cells reduce the measurement overhead of terminal equipment. Furthermore, because the adjacent cells measured by the terminal device are all adjacent cells that support the terminal device slice service, it can be understood that the adjacent cells indicated by the measurement report sent by the terminal device are also neighbor cells that support the terminal device slice service. The first neighboring cell determined by the network device according to the measurement report sent by the terminal device is also a neighboring cell that supports the slicing service of the terminal device, which can ensure that the target cell to which the terminal device is handed over supports the slicing service operated by the terminal device, thereby ensuring the operation of the terminal device.

需要说明的是，本申请实施例中，第一网络设备可以同时获取邻区列表和第四邻小区的切片能力信息，例如OAM向第一网络设备发送包括邻区列表和第四邻小区的切片能力信息的消息。第一网络设备还可以在获取邻区列表之后，再获取第四邻小区的切片能力信息，例如第一网络设备根据预配置的邻区列表确定第四邻小区后，向与第四邻小区关联的第三网络设备发送第二消息，再接收来自第三网络设备的第四邻小区的切片能力信息。It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the present application, the first network device can simultaneously obtain the slice capability information of the neighbor list and the fourth neighbor cell, for example, the OAM sends the slice including the neighbor list and the fourth neighbor cell to the first network device Capability information message. The first network device may also obtain the slicing capability information of the fourth neighboring cell after obtaining the neighboring cell list, for example, after the first network device determines the fourth neighboring cell according to the pre-configured The third network device sends the second message, and then receives the slice capability information of the fourth neighboring cell from the third network device.

The cell serves as the third neighboring cell.

其中，因为第四邻小区的切片能力信息包括第四邻小区是否支持网络切片和/或第四邻小区所属网络切片对应的切片类型，第一网络设备获取到第四邻小区的切片能力信息后，可以根据终端设备运行的切片业务对应的切片类型，将所属网络切片对应的切片类型包括终端设备运行的切片业务对应的切片类型的第四邻小区，确定为第三邻小区。例如，某一第四邻小区的切片能力信息指包括该第四邻小区支持网络切片，该第四邻小区所属网络切片的类型包括eMBB类型和uRLLC类型，而终端设备运行的切片业务对应的切片类型为eMBB类型，因此该第四邻小区可以支持终端设备运行的切片业务，第一网络设备可以将该第四邻小区确定为第三邻小区。Wherein, since the slicing capability information of the fourth neighboring cell includes whether the fourth neighboring cell supports network slicing and/or the slice type corresponding to the network slice to which the fourth neighboring cell belongs, after the first network device obtains the slicing capability information of the fourth neighboring cell, According to the slice type corresponding to the slice service run by the terminal device, the fourth neighbor cell whose network slice corresponds to the slice type including the slice type corresponding to the slice service run by the terminal device may be determined as the third neighbor cell. For example, the slicing capability information of a fourth neighboring cell includes that the fourth neighboring cell supports network slicing, the type of network slice to which the fourth neighboring cell belongs includes eMBB type and uRLLC type, and the slice corresponding to the slice service run by the terminal device The type is eMBB, so the fourth neighboring cell can support the slice service run by the terminal device, and the first network device can determine the fourth neighboring cell as the third neighboring cell.

本申请实施例中，切片资源状态信息是第二网络设备根据第一计算规则和第一参数集合确定的。其中，第一计算规则用于计算第一邻小区可用于第一邻小区所属的网络切片对应的切片类型的资源。因此，第二网络设备可以根据第一计算规则和第一参数集合，确定出关联的第一邻小区可用于其所属的网络切片对应的切片类型的资源。In this embodiment of the present application, the slice resource state information is determined by the second network device according to the first calculation rule and the first parameter set. Wherein, the first calculation rule is used to calculate resources of the slice type corresponding to the network slice to which the first neighboring cell can be used by the first neighboring cell. Therefore, the second network device may determine, according to the first calculation rule and the first parameter set, that the associated first neighboring cell can use resources of a slice type corresponding to the network slice to which it belongs.

本申请实施例中，上述第一计算规则可以为预配置的数学模型或公式。In this embodiment of the present application, the foregoing first calculation rule may be a preconfigured mathematical model or formula.

可选的，第一参数集合包括切片类型参数、切片配额类型参数、切片配额占比参数或者切片配额占比余量参数中的一个或多个。其中，切片配额类型参数、切片配额占比参数或者切片配额占比余量参数中的至少一个与切片类型参数相关联。Optionally, the first parameter set includes one or more of a slice type parameter, a slice quota type parameter, a slice quota proportion parameter, or a slice quota proportion balance parameter. Wherein, at least one of the slice quota type parameter, the slice quota proportion parameter, or the slice quota proportion balance parameter is associated with the slice type parameter.

以下对切片类型参数、切片配额类型参数、切片配额占比参数或者切片配额占比余量参数进行具体说明。The slice type parameter, the slice quota type parameter, the slice quota proportion parameter, or the slice quota proportion balance parameter are described in detail below.

切片类型参数，用于表征该参数定义的网络切片对应的切片类型，例如切片类型参数包括eMBB切片、uRLLC切片或mMTC切片等。The slice type parameter is used to represent the slice type corresponding to the network slice defined by this parameter. For example, the slice type parameter includes eMBB slice, uRLLC slice, or mMTC slice.

切片配额类型参数，用于表征被分配给该参数定义的网络切片的资源空闲时能否分配给其他切片。示例性的，以δ _i，t表示第一邻小区i所属的网络切片中，切片类型为t的网络切片对应的切片配额类型参数。当δ _i，t＝0时，表示第一邻小区i将分配给切片类型t的网络切片的资源严格地分配给该参数所定义的切片进行使用，其他类型的网络切片不可以使用这些资源。 The slice quota type parameter is used to indicate whether the resources allocated to the network slice defined by this parameter can be allocated to other slices when they are idle. Exemplarily, δ _{i, t} represents the slice quota type parameter corresponding to the network slice whose slice type is t in the network slice to which the first neighboring cell i belongs. When δ _i,t =0, it means that the first neighboring cell i strictly allocates the resources allocated to the network slice of slice type t to the slice defined by this parameter for use, and other types of network slices cannot use these resources.

切片配额占比参数，用于表征第一邻小区分配给该参数定义的网络切片对应的切片类型的资源占第一邻小区小区总资源的百分比的阈值，其中，阈值可以为上限阈值(小区总资源的最大百分比)，或者下限阈值(小区总资源的最小百分比)。例如，以ρ _i,t表示第一邻小区i所属的网络切片中，切片类型为t的网络切片对应的切片配额占比参数，示例性的，ρ _i,t表示最大百分比时，若ρ _i,t＝50％，表示第一邻小区i最多为切片类型为t的网络切片分配50％的小区总资源。 The slice quota ratio parameter is used to represent the threshold value of the percentage of the resource allocated by the first neighboring cell to the slice type corresponding to the network slice defined by this parameter in the total resources of the first neighboring cell, where the threshold can be an upper limit threshold (total maximum percentage of resources), or a lower threshold (minimum percentage of total cell resources). For example, let ρ _i,t represent the slice quota ratio parameter corresponding to the network slice whose slice type is t in the network slice to which the first neighboring cell i belongs. For example, when ρ _i,t represents the maximum percentage, if ρ _{i ,t} = 50%, indicating that the first neighboring cell i allocates at most 50% of the total cell resources to the network slice whose slice type is t.

切片配额占比余量参数，用于表征该参数定义的网络切片对应的切片类型的最大或最小资源预留比率。示例性的，以

表示第一邻小区i所属的网络切片中，切片类型为t的网络切片对应的切片配额占比余量参数，当ρ _i,t指示的第一邻小区i为切片类型为t的网络切片分配的最大或最小百分比资源中，空闲资源(未使用的资源)大于由margin比率指示的资源量时，可以将ρ _i,t指示的最大或最小百分比资源中的空闲资源与margin比率所配置的资源之差分配给其他类型的网络切片。为了便于理解，以一个具体的示例进行解释，若切片类型为t的网络切片当前占用第一邻小区小区i总资源的5％，且ρ _i,t＝50％，

可知第一邻小区i为切片类型为t的网络切片分配的50％的资源中，该网络切片当前占用了50％中的5％，50％的分配资源中还有45％资源为空闲资源，因为45％大于40％，第一邻小区可以将这空闲的45％资源减去

即5％分配给其他类型的网络切片使用。 The slice quota ratio margin parameter is used to represent the maximum or minimum resource reservation ratio of the slice type corresponding to the network slice defined by this parameter. Exemplary, with

Indicates the slice quota ratio margin parameter corresponding to the network slice whose slice type is t in the network slice to which the first neighboring cell i belongs. When the first neighboring cell i indicated by ρ _i,t is assigned to the network slice whose slice type is t When the maximum or minimum percentage of resources in ρi,t indicates that the idle resources (unused resources) are greater than the amount of resources indicated by the margin ratio, the resources configured by the maximum or minimum percentage of resources indicated by ρ _i,t can be configured by the margin ratio The difference is allocated to other types of network slices. To facilitate understanding, a specific example is used to explain, if the network slice whose slice type is t currently occupies 5% of the total resources of the first neighbor cell i, and ρ _i,t =50%,

It can be seen that among the 50% resources allocated by the first neighboring cell i to the network slice whose slice type is t, the network slice currently occupies 5% of the 50%, and 45% of the 50% allocated resources are idle resources. Because 45% is greater than 40%, the first neighbor cell can subtract the idle 45% resources from

That is, 5% is allocated to other types of network slice usage.

一种可能的方式中，若第二网络设备关联的第一邻小区支持终端设备运行的切片业务，第二网络设备可以仅计算第一邻小区可用于终端设备运行的切片业务的资源。该方式中，第一网络设备可以向第二网络设备发送指示终端设备运行的切片业务对应的切片类型的指示信息，第二网络设备收到该指示信息后，可以获取终端设备运行的切片业务对应的切片类型，进而根据第一计算规则和第一参数集合计算第一邻小区可用于获取的切片类型对应的网络切片的资源，并作为第一邻小区可用于终端设备运行的切片业务的资源。示例性的，第一网络设备可以将指示终端设备运行的切片业务对应的切片类型的指示信息携带在上文介绍的用于查询切片资源状态的第一消息中，或者，第一网络设备也可以独立发送该指示信息。In a possible manner, if the first neighboring cell associated with the second network device supports the slicing service run by the terminal device, the second network device may only calculate resources available to the first neighboring cell for the slicing service run by the terminal device. In this way, the first network device can send to the second network device indication information indicating the slice type corresponding to the slice service run by the terminal device.

Exemplarily, the first network device may carry the indication information indicating the slice type corresponding to the slice service run by the terminal device in the first message for querying the state of slice resources introduced above, or the first network device may also The indication information is sent independently.

另一种可能的实现方式中，第二网络设备可以计算第一邻小区可用于第一邻小区所属的所有网络切片的资源。该实现方式中，第二网络设备确定第一邻小区所属的所有网络切片对应的切片类型，并计算每个切片类型对应的第一邻小区的可用资源。In another possible implementation manner, the second network device may calculate resources available to the first neighboring cell for all network slices to which the first neighboring cell belongs. In this implementation manner, the second network device determines slice types corresponding to all network slices to which the first neighboring cell belongs, and calculates available resources of the first neighboring cell corresponding to each slice type.

可选的，若终端设备运行的切片业务仅对应一种切片类型，第一网络设备可以从所有第一邻小区中，选择可用于该类型的网络切片的资源最多的第一邻小区作为目标小区。示例性的，终端设备运行的切片业务的类型为k，第一网络设备获取所有第一邻小区i的ω _i,k后，选择第一邻小区i ^*作为目标小区，其中，i ^*＝argmaxω _i,k；argmaxω _i,k为使ω _i,k取得最大值所对应的变量i，ω _i,k可参考上文介绍，在此不再赘述。 Optionally, if the slicing service run by the terminal device only corresponds to one type of slicing, the first network device may select the first neighboring cell with the most resources available for this type of network slicing as the target cell from all the first neighboring cells . Exemplarily, the type of slicing service run by the terminal device is k, and the first network device selects the first neighboring cell i ^* as the target cell after obtaining ω _i,k of all the first neighboring cells i, wherein, i ^* =argmaxω _{i, k} ; argmaxω _{i, k} is the variable i corresponding to the maximum value of ω _i , k, ω _{i, k} can refer to the introduction above, and will not be repeated here.
