Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a pre-handover processing method, apparatus, user equipment, and cell.
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION When smart phones bring fun and convenience to people's lives, data traffic has also increased dramatically, especially in densely populated locations such as commercial centers and residential areas, where single cell planning has become difficult and steep. The traffic is matched, which seriously affects the user experience.
  • 3GPP has proposed the HetNet topic, that is, adding micro cells in an existing macro cell, thereby increasing the capacity of the network to meet the increasing amount of packet data.
  • a series of new problems have been introduced at the same time as the introduction of micro cells, and the robustness of switching between macro cells and micro cells is one of the representative problems. In the related art, the switching is performed as follows:
  • the physical layer of the UE reports the internal measurement result to the radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, referred to as RRC) layer;
  • RRC Radio Resource Control
  • the RRC layer performs layer 3 filtering on the result reported by the physical layer, and filters the value and reference. The value is compared to determine whether the A3 event (Event A3) can be triggered. If the A3 event is triggered, the TTT (Time-to-Trigger) timer is started.
  • RRC Radio Resource Control
  • the UE sends a measurement report (Measurement Report, MR for short) to the eNodeB after the TTT timer expires. ;
  • the source cell (the current serving cell of the UE) initiates a handover preparation process with the handover target cell included in the MR, and receives a handover command sent by the target cell through the X2 interface (Handover Command, referred to as HO CMD );
  • the source cell sends the HO CMD to the UE;
  • S6 after receiving the HO CMD sent by the source cell, the UE initiates a handover process to the handover target cell, that is, initiates a random access procedure, and completes the target to the target Cell handover.
  • TTT Time of Handover Preparation procedure, which does not include signaling transmission and processing time.
  • a UE For a UE that still uses a macro cell (ie, a source cell) as a serving cell, if the UE waits for a long time according to the current protocol, the UE is likely to go deep into the micro cell, so that the interference of the micro cell is too large to be correct.
  • the HO CMD sent by the source cell is received or cannot be received, which causes the handover to fail, which seriously affects the robustness of the UE handover, thereby affecting the performance of the network.
  • the UE moves from the micro cell to the macro cell, since the cell radius of the micro cell is small, the signal strength of the macro cell (ie, the target cell) rapidly increases.
  • the UE For a UE that still serves as a serving cell in the micro cell (ie, the source cell), if the UE waits for a long time according to the current protocol, the UE is likely to go deep into the macro cell, so that the macro cell is too large to be correct. Receiving or failing to receive the HO CMD sent by the micro cell, causing the handover to fail, thereby affecting network performance. The above situation is more obvious when the UE runs faster.
  • the above switching process is mainly described by taking the A3 event as an example.
  • measurement events include A1 event (EventAl), A2 event (EventA2), A4 event (Event A4), A5 event (Event A5), A6 event (Event A6), Bl.
  • Event (B) and Event B2 (Event B2) these events may also trigger the switching process, which in turn will face the problems described in the above examples.

Description

预切换处理方法、 装置、 用户设备及小区 技术领域 本发明涉及通信领域, 具体而言, 涉及一种预切换处理方法、 装置、 用户设备及 小区。 背景技术 智能手机在给人们的生活带来乐趣和便利的时候, 也使数据业务量剧增, 尤其是 在商业中心、 居民住宅区等人口稠密的地点, 单一的小区规划已经很难与陡增的业务 量匹配, 从而严重的影响到用户体验。 为了解决这些问题, 3GPP提出了 HetNet课题, 即在现有的宏小区内增设微小区, 从而增加网络的容量, 以满足日益增长的分组数据 量。 但是, 在引入微小区的同时也引入了一系列新的问题, 其中, 宏小区与微小区之 间切换的健壮性就是代表性问题之一。 在相关技术中, 切换是按照如下过程进行的:
S1 , UE的物理层将内部的测量结果上报给无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control, 简称为 RRC) 层; S2, RRC层对物理层上报的结果进行层 3过滤, 并且将过滤后的值与参考值进行 对比, 判断是否能够触发 A3事件 (Event A3 ), 则如果触发了 A3事件, 则启动 TTT (Time-to-Trigger) 定时器;
S3 , 如果在 TTT定时器运行期间, 经层 3过滤后的物理层上报的值都满足 A3事 件触发的条件, 则 UE在 TTT定时器超时后向 eNodeB发送测量报告 (Measurement Report, 简称为 MR);
S4, 源小区 (UE当前的服务小区) 则收到 MR后, 发起与 MR中包含的切换目 标小区之间的切换准备过程, 并且通过 X2 接口接收目标小区发送的切换命令 ( Handover Command, 简称为 HO CMD );
S5, 在切换准备过程完成之后, 源小区向 UE发送 HO CMD; S6, 在收到源小区发送的 HO CMD后, UE向切换目标小区发起切换过程, 即发 起随机接入过程, 并且完成向目标小区的切换。 在相关技术的切换过程中, 从 A3 事件触发到发送切换命令之间要经历很长的时 间(即 TTT + Time of Handover Preparation procedure,未包括信令的传输和处理时间)。 在 HetNet场景中, 当 UE从宏小区向微小区移动时, 因为微小区的小区半径较小, 所 以, 微小区 (即目标小区) 的信号强度就会快速上升。 对于以仍然以宏小区 (即源小 区)为服务小区的 UE来说, 如果按照现行协议进行长时间的等待的话, UE很可能会 深入微小区, 以至于因为微小区的干扰过大而无法正确接收或者无法接收源小区发送 的 HO CMD, 从而导致切换失败, 严重的影响到 UE切换的健壮性, 从而影响到网络 的性能。 反之, 当 UE从微小区向宏小区移动时, 因为微小区的小区半径较小, 所以, 宏小区 (即目标小区) 的信号强度就会快速上升。 对于以仍然以微小区 (即源小区) 为服务小区的 UE来说, 如果按照现行协议进行长时间的等待的话, UE很可能会深入 宏小区,以至于因为宏小区的干扰过大而无法正确接收或者无法接收微小区发送的 HO CMD, 从而导致切换失败, 进而影响网络性能。 上述情况在 UE运行速度较快时更为 明显。 另外, 上述切换过程主要以 A3事件为例进行描述。在现行的协议中, 除了 A3事 件之外, 测量事件还包括 A1事件(EventAl )、 A2事件(EventA2)、 A4事件(Event A4)、 A5事件( Event A5)、 A6事件( Event A6)、 Bl事件(Event Bl )禾 P B2事件(Event B2), 这些事件也都可能引发切换过程, 进而也都会面临上述例子中所述的问题。 因此, 在相关场景中的小区间切换, 存在切换成功率低、 切换健壮性差的问题。 发明内容 本发明提供了一种预切换处理方法、 装置、 用户设备及小区, 以至少解决在相关 技术中的小区间切换, 存在切换成功率低, 以及切换健壮性差的问题。 根据本发明的一个方面, 提供了一种预切换处理方法, 包括: 用户设备 UE接收 服务小区发送的预切换目标小区配置信息;
