- the UE performs measurement operations on the measurement parameters of the serving cell and the neighboring cell according to the network configuration in the active state of the DRX mode, and generates a measurement event under certain conditions, and triggers the time (TTT, Time). After the To Trigger ) timeout, the measurement report is reported when certain conditions are met.
- TTT Time
- the 3GPP protocol imposes certain restrictions on the measurement report reported by the UE to the network. For example, in order to prevent the UE from returning to the active state from the sleep state due to the reporting of the measurement result, the UE delays the reporting of the measurement result (including the event reporting and the periodic reporting mode), and waits until the next activation time is reported again.
- TS 36.331 the 3GPP protocol imposes certain restrictions on the measurement report reported by the UE to the network. For example, in order to prevent the UE from returning to the active state from the sleep state due to the reporting of the measurement result, the UE delays the reporting of the measurement result (including the event reporting and the periodic reporting mode), and
- the inventor of the present application found in the long-term research and development that the prior art if the UE is configured with the DRX mode, and the period of the DRX mode is much longer than the trigger time. Then, if the measurement event satisfies the generation condition before the UE enters sleep, the timer of the trigger time is started, and the UE performs the DRX sleep state, but the trigger time runs normally; when the UE returns to the active state, the trigger is found. Time is over At the time, the measurement report obtained by the previous active state is reported to the base station. However, in fact, the signal quality status of the serving cell and the neighboring cell in this active state may have changed. At this time, the reported measurement report is no longer applicable, but the base station continues to use it without knowing it. This will cause the handover to fail or the radio link to fail. From the perspective of system efficiency, the above technical problems have a great impact on mobile performance.

一种对测量事件的测量 ^艮告进行上 "^的方法
本申请要求了于 2011 年 12 月 31 日提交中国专利局, 申请号为 201110459643.9、 发明名称为 "一种对测量事件的测量 4艮告进行上 >¾的方法" 的中国申请的优先权, 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, 特别是涉及一种对测量事件的测量报告进行 上报的方法。 背景技术
无线通信系统中的基站,该基站可以包括 BS , eNodeB, node B, node, BTS ( Base Transceiver Station, 基站^:发台)或 AP ( Access Point, 访问接入点) 等,在下行链路上给用户设备,该用户设备 UE可以包括 access terminal, access point, PDA ( Personal Digital Assistant, 个人数码助理), laptop (笔记本电脑) 等, 发射数据和 /或控制信息, 并在上行链路上接收用户设备的数据和 /或控制 信息。 类似的, 用户设备在上行链路上为基站传输数据和 /或控制信息, 并在 下行链路上接收基站发射的数据和 /或控制信息。
现有技术为满足或提升无线通信系统如 LTE-A 和 /或 LTE-A ( LTE- Advanced )通信系统的性能需求, 在同构网络 (Homogeneous network) 内部署不同类型或不同制式的基站以增强网络的覆盖和性能, 这样的网络结 构被称之为异构网络 (Heterogeneous network)。 其中, 比如原有的基站是低发 射功率的基站(简称低功率基站, lower power node, LPN)或发射 /接收节点, 可 以包括 Micro BS, Pico BS, Home BS(家庭基站 ) , femto BS(毫微微蜂窝基站), Relay BS (中继基站)或 RRH ( Radio Remote Head, 远端射频头)等, 而在 异构网络中部署的不同类型的基站,可以是大发射功率基站 (如宏基站, Macro eNodeB, MeNB), 所述大发射功率基站和低功率基站具备不同的发射功率。
作为 3G通信系统的长期演进, LTE通信系统能够提供高速率的上下行数 据传输。 由于在 LTE通信系统中数据传输量较大, 数据传输对接收天线的功
耗要求较高, 天线在接收数据的时候要尽可能在有数据的时候监视物理下行 控制信道 (PDCCH, Physical Downlink Control Channel), 接收下行数据或上 行授权, 在没有数据的时候尽可能处于睡眠状态。 如在浏览网页时有可能在 短时间内打开其他网页, 为此需要在短时间内进行睡眠, 然后在一定的定时 关系之后监视 PDCCH。
因此,为保证性能的同时降低能耗,产生了非连续接收非连续接收(DRX, Discontinuous reception )技术。 LTE通信系统中的 DRX功能控制实体位于协 议栈的 MAC层, 其主要功能是控制向物理层发送指令,通知物理层在特定的 时间监视 PDCCH, 其余时间不会开启接收天线, 使系统处于睡眠状态。 DRX 技术是在 LTE通信系统中引入的一种新的省电工作机制, 使 UE在没有数据 传输时不需要进入空闲模式, 仍保持与基站的同步状态。 比如, DRX算法已 经应用在 TD-SCDMA中。 但这种算法比较简单, 具体是使用单一的 DRX环 进行运转, 只有在激活期才接收下行数据和上行授权, 在空闲模式下则根据 寻呼周期进行 DRX 环循环。 而在无线资源控制协议 (RRC, Radio Resource Control)连接状态下的 DRX算法, 则是釆用多种定时器配合运作来保证下行 数据与上行授权的接收的方式。
DRX功能虽然可以大大降低了 LTE通信系统中的耗电量, 但是, DRX周 期比 UE的触发时间长很多,如果 UE进入睡眠态前,有个测量事件满足生成条 件, 触发时间便启动了。 当 UE进入睡眠态后, 触发时间仍然正常运行; 当 UE 再回到激活态时, 便向基站上报测量报告, 而此时如果触发时间已经超时, 这时的服务小区和邻区的信号质量状态已经发生了改变, 这样, 会导致切换 失败或无线链路失败, 对移动性能造成了很大影响。 发明内容

本发明的又一方面是提供一种用户设备, 包括: 确定单元, 用于确定在 非连续接收 DRX模式激活态下的用户设备 UE有测量事件生成; 第一判断单 元, 用于在确定单元确定有测量事件生成时, 判断对应测量事件的第一触发 时间是否有效; 配置单元, 用于在第一判断单元判断第一触发时间有效时, 使用第一触发时间对测量事件进行计时; 在第一判断单元判断第一触发时间 无效时,使用第二触发时间对测量事件进行计时, 以使得 UE处于测量事件生 成后的下一个或下若干个 DRX模式的激活态; 测量单元, 用于在配置单元使 用第二触发时间对测量事件进行计时时, 重新执行对服务小区和至少一个邻 区按照网络配置的测量参数进行测量操作, 得到测量结果; 第二判断单元,
用于根据测量单元得到的测量结果判断对应第一触发时间的前次测量事件是 否依然有效; 上报处理单元, 用于在第二判断单元判断前次的测量事件依然 有效时, 向网络上>¾前次测量事件的测量 告, 否则不向网络上 "^前次测量 事件的测量报告或更新测量事件; 测量事件由对服务小区和至少一个邻区按 照网络配置的测量参数进行测量操作并上报测量报告而产生, 测量操作在满 足条件时产生测量报告。
本发明的又一方面是提供一种网络设备, 网络设备在 DRX模式激活态下 有测量事件生成, 包括: 下发单元, 用于向 UE下发测量参数, 使 UE在非连 续接收 DRX模式激活态下,对服务小区和服务小区的至少一个邻区按照下发 的测量参数进行测量操作;接收单元, 用于接收 UE使用测量参数而得到的测 量报告, 测量参数为测量事件配置合适的触发时间的定时时间长度或测量报 告的上报方式, 以使得测量事件生成的时间点距离 UE前次离开 DRX睡眠态 的时间小于或等于网络配置给测量事件的触发时间的定时时间长度, 从而使 触发时间超时之前或超时时刻的 UE处于测量事件生成后的下一个或下若干 个 DRX模式的激活态。 区别于现有技术使用过时的测量报告导致切换失败或无线链路失败的情 况, 本发明的一方面在确定有所述测量事件生成并需要上报测量报告时, 判 断对应所述测量事件的第一触发时间是否具有有效, 如果判断为是使用所述 第一触发时间对所述测量事件进行计时, 如果判断为否, 说明将会导致使用 过时的测量报告而使切换失败或无线链路失败的情况, 因此改变设计而使第 二触发时间超时之前或超时时刻的 UE处于测量事件生成后的下一个或下若干 个 DRX模式的激活态, 这样使得 UE在再次进入 DRX模式的激活态时, 有机会 执行测量, 判断前次的测量报告是否依然有效, 在无效时不向网络上报所述 前次测量事件的测量报告, 从而能够避免使用过时的测量报告导致切换失败 或无线链路失败的情况, 提高小区间进行移动切换的成功率或提高无线链路 的质量。 附图说明

具体实施方式
一般而言, 为保证通信质量, UE会在 DRX模式的激活态中对服务小区 和邻区按照网络配置的测量参数进行测量操作, 在一定条件下生成测量事件, 并在触发时间 (TTT, Time To Trigger )超时后, 满足一定条件时上报测量报 告。在对 UE配置 DRX模式时, 3GPP协议对 UE给网络上报的测量报告做了 一定的限制。 如, 为避免 UE由于测量结果的上报而导致 UE从睡眠态经常回 到激活态, UE尽量延迟测量结果 (包括事件上报和周期上报两种模式)的上 报, 等到下一个激活时间再上报 (From TS 36.331)。
同时,本申请发明人在长期研发中发现,现有技术如果 UE被配置了 DRX 模式, 且 DRX模式的周期比触发时间长很多。 那么, 如果 UE在进入睡眠前, 有个测量事件满足生成条件,触发时间的定时器便启动了,不久 UE进行 DRX 的睡眠态, 但触发时间正常运行; 当 UE再回到激活态, 发现触发时间已经超
时, 便向基站上报前次激活态得到的测量报告。 但实际上, 本次激活态下的 服务小区和邻区的信号质量状态可能已经发生了改变, 这时上报的测量报告 已经不再适用, 但基站在不知情的情况下仍然继续釆用。 这样, 会导致切换 失败或无线链路失败。 从系统效率的角度看, 上述技术问题会对移动性能造 成很大的影响。
尤其在前面背景技术中提到的新出现的异构系统场景下, 用户设备在小 区间移动的次数会大量增加。 因此, 为了获得比较强壮的测量功能和无缝切 换效果, 本发明提供相应的方法和设备实施例, 允许对测量事件的测量报告 突破前述的限制, 使得触发时间的定时时间长度精度满足在测量报告上报之 前的需求。
参阅图 1和图 2,本发明对测量事件的测量报告进行上报的方法一实施例 包括:
步骤 101 : 确定在非连续接收 DRX模式激活态下的用户设备 UE有测量 事件生成;
网络根据 UE的业务特征等因素, 配置 DRX模式给 UE, 并为 UE配置测 量参数; 当所述 UE处于 DRX模式的激活态时, 确定其有测量事件生成。 在 满足一定条件下, 所述测量事件由对服务小区和至少一个邻区按照网络配置 的测量参数进行测量操作并上报测量报告而产生; 而在满足一定条件时, 所 述测量操作将产生测量报告。
步骤 102: 在确定有所述测量事件生成时, 判断对应所述测量事件的第一 触发时间是否有效;
在满足一定条件下, 确定有所述测量事件生成并需要上报测量报告, 这 时候进行判断: 是否所述测量事件生成的时间点距离 UE本次进入 DRX睡眠 态的时间小于网络配置给测量事件的第一触发时间 (原定触发时间) 的定时 时间长度、 并且所述测量事件生成的时间点距离 UE前次离开 DRX睡眠态的 时间 (即, 距离 UE再次进入 DRX激活态的时间) 大于网络配置给测量事件 的第一触发时间的定时时间长度, 如图 2 所示; 若所述测量事件生成的时间 点距离 UE本次进入 DRX睡眠态的时间小于网络配置给测量事件的第一触发 时间的定时时间长度、并且所述测量事件生成的时间点距离 UE前次离开 DRX 睡眠态的时间大于网络配置给测量事件的第一触发时间的定时时间长度, 则
判断所述第一触发时间无效,若所述测量事件生成的时间点距离 UE本次进入 DRX睡眠态的时间大于或等于网络配置给测量事件的第一触发时间的定时时 间长度、 并且所述测量事件生成的时间点距离 UE前次离开 DRX睡眠态的时 间小于或等于网络配置给测量事件的第一触发时间的定时时间长度, 则判断 所述第一触发时间有效。
步骤 103: 在判断第一触发时间有效时, 使用所述第一触发时间对所述测 量事件进行计时; 在判断第一触发时间无效时, 使用第二触发时间对所述测 量事件进行计时, 以使得所述 UE 处于测量事件生成后的下一个或下若干个 DRX模式的激活态;
在判断第一触发时间有效时, 使用所述第一触发时间对所述测量事件的 进行计时, 即, 当测量事件生成后, 启动第一触发时间,当第一触发时间超时 时, 且第一触发时间超时前, 测量的小区信号强度 /质量一直满足测量事件条 件, 则上报该测量事情给网络侧。 在判断第一触发时间无效时, 说明将会在 下一激活态使用过时的测量报告, 从而可能会导致切换失败或无线链路失败 的情况。 因此, 为避免这种情况发生, 改变设计而使第二触发时间超时之前 或超时时刻的 UE处于测量事件生成后的下一个或下若干个 DRX模式的激活 态, 这样使得 UE在再次进入 DRX模式的激活态时, 有机会执行测量, 以选 择是否使用前次测量报告。
其中,使第二触发时间超时之前或超时时刻的 UE处于测量事件生成后的 下一个或下若干个 DRX模式的激活态, 既可以是 UE自身进行控制来实现, 也可以是网络控制 UE来实现; 既可以不改变现有 DRX模式的激活态或睡眠 态的分布, 通过调整第一触发时间的定时时间长度或重新安排第二触发时间 来实现, 也可以是不改变第一触发时间的定时时间长度, 而通过在第一触发 时间超时之前或超时时刻使 UE有上报指示上报测量报告来实现,比如在这时 候使 UE处于激活态等等, 本发明实施例不作限制。
步骤 104: 在所述 UE处于测量事件生成后的下一个或下若干个 DRX模 式的激活态时, 重新执行对服务小区和至少一个邻区按照网络配置的测量参 数进行的测量操作, 得到测量结果;
如前述, 通过各种方法, 使得 UE在再次进入 DRX模式的激活态时, 有 机会执行测量, 以判断前次的测量报告是否依然有效。
步骤 105:根据所述测量结果判断对应第一触发时间的前次测量事件是否 依然有效;
比如在前一个激活态时, 对应第一触发时间的前次测量操作的结果为邻 区信号比当前服务区信号好, 而本次激活态下, 所述测量操作的结果为邻区 信号比当前服务区信号差, 那么前一个激活态测量事件对应的测量报告是过 时的, 判断为无效。
步骤 106: 在所述前次的测量事件依然有效时, 向网络上>¾所述前次测量 事件的测量报告, 否则不向网络上报所述前次测量事件的测量报告或更新测 量事件。
如前述, 前一个激活态测量事件对应的测量报告是过时的, 判断为无效, 此时不向网络上报所述前次测量事件的测量报告或更新测量事件; 当然, 判 断结果为前一个激活态测量事件对应的测量报告并不过时, 是有效的, 那么 向网络上报所述前次测量事件的测量报告。
可以理解, 本发明实施例在确定有所述测量事件生成并需要上报测量报 告时, 判断对应所述测量事件的第一触发时间是否有效, 如果判断第一触发 时间无效, 说明将会导致使用过时的测量报告而使切换失败或无线链路失败 的情况,因此改变设计而使第二触发时间超时之前或超时时刻的 UE处于测量 事件生成后的下一个或下若干个 DRX模式的激活态, 这样使得 UE在再次进 入 DRX模式的激活态时, 有机会执行测量, 判断前次的测量报告是否依然有 效, 在无效时不向网络上报所述前次测量事件的测量报告或更新测量事件, 从而能够避免使用过时的测量报告导致切换失败或无线链路失败的情况, 提 高小区间进行移动切换的成功率或提高无线链路的质量。

否使用前次测量报告。
步骤 204: 在所述 UE处于测量事件生成后的下一个或下若干个 DRX模 式的激活态时, 重新执行对服务小区和至少一个邻区按照网络配置的测量参 数进行的测量操作, 得到测量结果;

步骤 205:根据所述测量结果判断对应第一触发时间的前次测量事件是否 依然有效;
比如在前一个激活态时, 前次测量操作的结果为邻区信号比当前服务区 信号好, 而本次激活态下, 所述测量操作的结果为邻区信号比当前服务区信 号差, 那么前一个激活态测量事件对应的测量报告是过时的, 判断为无效。
步骤 206: 在所述前次的测量事件依然有效时, 向网络上>¾所述前次测量 事件的测量报告, 否则不向网络上报所述前次测量事件的测量报告或更新测 量事件。

为避免这种情况发生, 改变设计, 由网络预先配置好第二触发时间。 当 UE再 次进入 DRX模式的激活态时, 并且满足步骤 302的条件, 这时再次生成测量 事件, UE应用第二触发时间。 这样使得 UE在再次进入 DRX模式的激活态 时, 有机会执行测量, 以选择是否使用前次测量报告。

Step3: UE需要通过邻区的广播的系统消息里发射功率大小,来推断出对 应邻区的覆盖范围大小等级; 或者根据事先知道的不同的覆盖范围大小等级 的小区对应的不同的 PCI组划分的信息,才艮据邻区的 PCI,推断给对应邻区的 覆盖范围大小等级。
Step4: UE根据获知的被测邻区的覆盖范围大小等级,应用对应的缩放因 子系数与触发时间相乘, 生成实际的触发时间。 该缩放因子系数可以是基站 在测量配置中配置的, 也可以是 UE自己保存的值。
Step5: 当实际的触发时间的定时时间长度到达后, 测量事件的条件依然 满足, 则上报测量报告。
