Description

一种小区测量报告的方法及用户设备 技术领域
本发明涉及无线通信技术领域,尤其涉及的是一种小区测量报告的方法及用户设备。
背景技术
随着网络部署的密集以及业务需求的增加,为提升系统容量和频谱效率,长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)系统引入了双链接(Dual Connection,DC),DC也称为基站间载波聚合(Carrier Aggrecation,CA)以及多流链接(Multi-stream Connection),即在宏小区层增加虚拟小区层,使用基站边缘的空闲频段和小区间的干扰协调技术,能够有效提升网络移动性和流通性,例如使用工作频率为2GHz以下的宏小区控制面信令和移动性支持,使用工作频率为3GHz以上的小小区卸载业务,由于小小区的覆盖范围小且部署密集,可以为局部热点区域内的用户设备(User Equipment,UE)提供充裕的频率资源,且UE到小小区的链路损耗低。在宏小区和小小区混合的场景中,UE通过进行无线资源管理的测量,即对小区参考信号进行测量以获得服务小区及邻小区的测量结果,并根据测量结果判断是否触发测量上报,使得宏基站可以通过该测量结果判断是否对UE进行切换、添加和释放等操作。
在第三代合作伙伴项目(The 3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)的发布(Release)8至Release 10中,宏基站会为宏小区和虚拟小区(虚拟小区包含多个小小区)配置相应的测量对象和上报测量事件的机制,以支持UE在虚拟小区中的移动性,其中,系统内的测量事件采用Ax标识,主要的测量事件包括事件A1、事件A2、事件A3、事件A4、事件A5和事件A6,UE在进行测量时,判断测量结果满足某个事件时,便会上报该事件。由于在带有虚拟小区的多链接场景中,进行多链接的UE的数量较多,导致在UE在向基站上报测量事件时,会产生大量冗余的测量报告,占用大量无线资源,增加UE和网络的负载。

本发明实施例提供了一种小区测量报告的方法及用户设备,用于LTE网络,本发明实施例适用的网络架构主要有载波聚合、双链接或虚拟小区或超密集网络(Super Dense Network,UDN)。以下进行详细说明。
LTE系统中,基站通过为UE进行测量配置来控制UE的测量行为,UE在进行LTE切换时,存在周期性上报和事件触发上报,需要上报对小区的测量结果,其中周期性上报由基站配置,UE直接上报测量结果,事件触发上报分为同频系统的事件和不同系统间的事件,同频/异频切换事件主要包括:
事件A1:服务小区的信号质量好于一个门限;
事件A2:服务小区的信号质量差于一个门限;
事件A3:邻小区的信号质量好于主服务小区(Primary Cell,Pcell)一个偏置值;
事件A4:邻小区的信号质量好于一个门限;
事件A5:Pcell的信号质量差于门限1,邻小区的信号质量好于门限2;
事件A6:邻小区的信号质量好于辅服务小区(Secondary Cell,Scell)一个偏置值。
举例来说,由于基站针对不同的上报的触发事件定义了相应的服务小区,如UE在判断是否满足事件A3时,需要使用的某个小区的测量结果,即Pcell的测量结果。
在部署了宏小区与虚拟小区的多链接场景中,进行多链接的UE的数量较多,因此在上报测量事件时,会产生大量冗余的测量报告,导致占用大量无线资源,增加UE和网络的负载。为解决测量上报冗余的问题,本发明实施例主要通过以下思路解决:
1、通过定义将触发事件上报至测量配置的主体,或通过修改或增加条件,重新定义原测量事件;
例如测量配置的主体为宏小区,则将该触发事件只上报给宏小区,若测量配置的主体为主要传输点,则将该触发事件只上报给主要传输点。
又例如,分别为宏小区和小小区建立独立的测量对象,独立的测量和独立的上报使得测量事件更加合理化,以及提高上报触发事件的准确度,能够有效区分针对宏小区和小小区的触发事件。
又例如,基于频率组和UE的工作模式,重新定义事件A3、事件A4和事件A5,即单链接模式时,UE仅针对事件A3进行测量和上报,且针对宏小区频率组和虚拟频率组,即可减少冗余上报又可以向基站上报小小区的链路质量;在多链接模式时,UE仅针对事件A3/A4/A5进行测量报告,且针对宏小区频率组,不会触发对小小区的测量上报,即减少冗余上报。
或者,又例如,定义新的事件A7、事件A8和事件A9,代替多链接模式时使用的原事件A3、事件A4和事件A5,即在多链接模式时,事件A7、事件A8和事件A9专用于特定频率组的邻小区,即可减少冗余上报。
或者,还可以定义服务小区,该服务小区为判断是否满足某个事件时,UE测量和上报对应的小区。
2、在测量结果满足某个事件时,则上报该事件。
本文中,所有与测量配置的信息均由基站通过RRC信令通知给UE,例如测量对象、事件参数、频率组等,测量对象包括载波频率、载波频率组及载波频率组上的小区集等,本文不作赘述。
请参照图1,以下从用户设备角度对本发明实施例中的一种小区测量报告的方法进行说明,该方法包括:
101、用户设备接收网络侧配置的测量配置信息,并根据所述测量配置信息选择服务小区。
该测量配置信息通过RRC信令中的测量配置(Measurement Configurtion,MeasConfig)信元携带,该测量配置信息包括UE需要测量的测量对象、测量对象所属频段、小区列表、报告方式、测量标识、事件参数等。
用户设备可以根据上述测量配置信息在宏小区和小小区中确定服务小区。
102、用户设备根据所述测量配置信息对所述服务小区和邻小区中的至少一个进行测量。
其中,所述邻小区为所述服务小区关联的测量对象所指示的载频上的小区。所述对所述服务小区和邻小区中的至少一个进行测量,包括:
所述用户设备对所述服务小区进行测量;
所述用户设备对所述服务小区和邻小区进行测量;
所述用户设备对所述邻小区进行测量。
可选的,在所述用户设备使用多链接模式时,可以通过单独为宏小区和小小区配置独立的测量对象,所述测量对象包括第一测量对象和第二测量对象,所述用户设备根据所述第一测量对象对所述宏小区进行测量,以及根据所述第二测量对象对所述小小区进行测量;或者,所述用户设备根据所述第一测量对象对虚拟小区进行测量,以及根据所述第二测量对象对实体小区进行测量。通过单独配置,能够有效区分对宏小区的测量以及对虚拟小区的测量,更适用于部署密集的UDN架构。
举例来说,现有机制中的第一测量对象为不区分宏小区和虚拟小区时所配 置的测量对象(Measurement Object,MeasObject),本方案中,仅用于宏小区的测量。第二测量对象为MeasObject辅链接SecondaryLink,第一测量对象和第二测量对象中的信息元(Information Element,IE)相同,即测量项相同。在多链接时,UE对这两个测量对象单独进行测量,即在测量MeasObject时,服务小区只考虑宏小区的Pcell/Scell,在测量MeasObject SecondaryLink时,服务小区只考虑小小区的Pcell/Scell,相应的,UE在测量结果(Measurement Results,MeasResults)中只上报宏小区的Pcell/Scell的测量结果,在测量结果MeasResultsSecondaryLink中只上报小小区的Pcell/Scell的测量结果。
可选的,所述第一测量对象由所述宏小区对宏基站所属频段配置,所述第二测量对象由所述宏小区对所述小小区所属频段配置;
或,所述第一测量对象由所述主要传输点对虚拟小区所属频段配置,所述第二测量对象由所述主要传输点对实体小区所属频段配置。
103、所述用户设备确定所述服务小区的测量结果和所述邻小区的测量结果中的至少一个满足预设的触发事件时,根据所述测量配置信息向所述网络侧发送携带所述触发事件的测量报告。
具体包括如下三种场景:
所述用户设备根据所述测量配置信息对选择的服务小区进行测量,确定所述服务小区的测量结果满足所述触发事件时,根据所述测量配置信息向所述网络侧发送携带所述触发事件的测量报告。
所述用户设备根据所述测量配置信息对所述服务小区和邻小区进行测量,确定所述服务小区的测量结果和所述邻小区的测量结果满足预设的触发事件时,根据所述测量配置信息向所述网络侧发送携带所述触发事件的测量报告。
所述用户设备根据所述测量配置信息对所述邻小区进行测量,确定所述邻小区的测量结果满足所述触发事件时,根据所述测量配置信息向所述网络侧发送携带所述触发事件的测量报告。
其中,所述网络侧包括宏小区和/或主要传输点,即用户设备只向发送测量配置信息的主体发送测量报告,发送测量配置信息的主体即为配置测量信息的主体,该主体包括宏小区或主要传输点,该主要传输点为虚拟小区的主要传输点,举例来说,若关于对服务小区的测量配置信息是由宏小区配置 的,则UE仅向宏小区上报上述测量报告,而不用向主要传输点上报;若对服务小区的测量配置信息是由主要传输点配置的,则UE仅向主要传输点上报上述测量报告,而不用向宏小区上报,通过该机制可以减少测量报告的数目。可选的,该主要传输点为虚拟小区的主要传输点,或者为云小区的主要传输点。
可以理解的是,该测量报告也携带与触发事件相应的测量结果。
步骤102中,单独为宏小区和小小区配置了单独的测量对象,故用户设备在上报触发事件时,会向所述宏小区发送所述第一测量对象对应的测量结果,以及向所述宏小区或所述小小区或所述小小区所属的主要传输点发送所述第二测量对象对应的测量结果;
或,所述用户设备向所述虚拟小区的主要传输点或向所述云小区的主要传输点发送所述第一测量对象对应的测量结果,以及向所述虚拟小区的主要传输点、所述云小区的主要传输点或实体小区之一发送所述第二测量对象对应的测量结果。可选的,所述方法还包括:当所述虚拟小区的信号质量低于预设门限时,所述用户设备对所述虚拟小区的相邻虚拟小区、所述相邻虚拟小区所属的实体小区或所述虚拟小区相邻的实体小区进行测量。
可见,通过独立的测量和独立的上报使得测量事件更加合理化,以及提高上报触发事件的准确度,能够有效区分针对宏小区和小小区的触发事件。
并且,由于在大多场景中,小小区的信号质量都好于宏小区,采用单独配置测量后,不会将小小区与宏小区进行比较,即不会对这两类小区的比较结果进行上报,从而减少了测量报告的数目。
本发明实施例中,用户设备根据测量配置信息对选择的服务小区和/或邻小区进行测量,然后根据测量配置信息向网络侧发送携带触发事件的测量报告,即仅对服务小区进行测量时,只对该服务小区进行测量上报,避免同时对其他小区进行测量上报;仅对邻小区进行测量时,仅对该邻小区进行测量上报,避免对服务小区进行测量报告;在对选择的服务小区及其邻小区测量时,只针对该服务小区及其邻小区进行测量报告,避免对其他小区及其邻小区进行测量上报,从而减少测量报告数目,另外用户设备可以根据测量配置信息的指示仅向测量配置的主体上报触发事件,可以进一步减少需要上报的测量事件,从而 减少信令消耗,再者,通过有针对性的只对选定的服务小区进行测量上报,避免对其他无关小区进行测量上报,提高测量上报的效率。
举例来说,对于小小区进行测量上报时,只比较小小区和邻小区,即只上报小小区频率上的邻小区;对于宏小区进行测量上报时,不比较宏小区和小小区,即不会对小小区进行测量上报,实现减少测量报告数目的目的,另外,根据测量配置信息向网络侧发送测量报告,即可避免是宏小区配置测量信息时,UE向主要传输点发送不必要的测量报告,以及避免是主要传输点配置测量信息时,对宏小区发送不必要的测量报告,进一步减少需要上报的测量事件,减少信令消耗。
可选的,在一些发明实施例中,还可以通过重新定义服务小区,以及需要上报的触发事件来提高上报重要的触发事件的有效性,具体如下:
所述触发事件包括事件A2和事件A3,所述服务小区满足以下之一:
所述用户设备支持载波聚合时,所述服务小区包括主服务小区和至少一个辅服务小区;
对于多链接模式,所述服务小区根据配置的所述测量对象定义;
对于所述第一测量对象,所述服务小区为配置所述第一测量对象的主服务小区;
对于所述第二测量对象,所述服务小区为所述小小区上的主链接。
可选的,在一些发明实施例中,除了重新定义服务小区和单独为宏小区、小小区配置独立的测量对象,还可以根据UE的工作模式重新定义测量的频率组,也可以是在重新定义服务小区和单独为宏小区、小小区配置独立的测量对象的基础上,进一步根据UE的工作模式重新定义测量的频率组,以实现只上报关键的、有用的测量报告,更具针对性和高效性。具体分以下两种情况:
1、在所述用户设备使用多链接模式时
所述触发事件包括事件A3、事件A4和事件A5,所述用户设备在宏小区和小小区中确定服务小区,包括:
对于所述事件A3、所述事件A4及所述事件A5,所述用户设备将所述宏小区作为所述服务小区;
所述对所述服务小区和邻小区中的至少一个进行测量,包括:
对所述宏小区和所述邻小区分别进行测量,所述邻小区包括与所述宏小区关联的测量对象所指示的载频上的小区。
2、在所述用户设备使用单链接模式时
所述触发事件包括事件A3、事件A4和事件A5,所述用户设备在宏小区和小小区中确定服务小区,包括:
对于所述事件A3、所述事件A4及所述事件A5,所述用户设备将所述宏小区和所述小小区均作为所述服务小区;
所述对所述服务小区和邻小区中的至少一个进行测量,包括:
所述用户设备对所述宏小区、所述小小区和所述邻小区分别进行测量,所述邻小区包括所述宏小区关联的测量对象所指示的载频上的小区,以及包括与所述小小区关联的测量对象所指示的载频上的小区。
以上两种情况为基于UE的工作模式和频率组,具体选择测量的频率组可以通过重新定义事件的Note实现:
1、在3GPP TS36.331中,对事件A3的Notes进行修改
所述事件A3包括:触发所述事件A3的小区在与所述测量对象相关联的第一频率上被指示,所述第一频率与所述主服务小区使用的频率不同,在单链接模式时,所述测量对象包含宏小区频率组和虚拟小区频率组;在多链接模式时,所述测量对象包含宏小区频率组。
修改后的Notes如下:
The cell(s)that triggers the event is on the frequency indicated in the associated measObject which may be different from the frequency used by the PCell.
For single connection or multiple connection mode,the frequency list may include different frequency groups.
In single connection mode,both the macro frequency group and the virtual cell frequency group will be considered in measurement objects;for multiple connection mode,only macro frequency group is considered.
2、在TS36.331中,为事件A4增加一个新的Note
所述事件A4包括:触发所述事件A4的小区在与所述测量对象相关联的第二频率上被指示,所述第二频率与所述主服务小区使用的频率不同,在所单链接模式时,所述测量对象包含宏小区频率组和虚拟小区频率组;在多链接模式时,所述测量对象包含宏小区频率组.
新的Notes如下:
Fhe cell(s)that triggers the event is on the frequency indicated in the associated measObject which may be different from the frequency used by the PCell.
For single connection or multiple connection mode,the frequency list may include different frequency groups.
In single connection mode,both the macro frequency group and the virtual cell frequency group will be considered in measurement objects;for multiple connection mode,only macro frequency group is considered.
3、在TS36.331中,对事件A5的Notes进行修改
所述事件A5包括:触发所述事件A5的小区在与所述测量对象相关联的第三频率上被指示,所述第三频率与所述主服务小区使用的频率不同,在所单链接模式时,所述测量对象包含宏小区频率组和虚拟小区频率组;在多链接模式时,所述测量对象包含宏小区频率组。
修改后的Notes如下:
The cell(s)that triggers the event is on the frequency indicated in the associated measObject which may be different from the frequency used by the PCell.
For single connection or multiple connection mode,the frequency list may include different frequency groups.
In single connection mode,both the macro frequency group and the virtual cell frequency group will be considered in measurement objects;for multiple connection mode,only macro frequency group is considered.
可选的,在一些发明实施例中,可以通过为小小区的特定频率组在3GPP TS36.331中增加新的事件预先定义UE在不同的工作模式时上报的触发事件,以提高测量机制的灵活性,同时UE只上报关键的、有用的测量报告,通过减少需要上报的测量事件,从而减少信令消耗。例如专门为使用多链接模式的UE定义新的事件A7、事件A8和事件A9,以代替原测量机制中的事件A3、事件A4和事件A5,使得UE在使用单链接模式时使用原有测量机制中的事件A3、事件A4和事件A5,在多链接模式时使用事件A7、事件A8和事件A9,具体如下:
1、所述用户设备使用单链接模式时,所述触发事件包括事件A3、事件A4和事件A5;
所述用户设备使用多链接模式时,所述服务小区为小小区,所述触发事件包括事件A7、事件A8和事件A9;
2、关于新的事件A7、事件A8及事件A9的定义如下:
所述事件A7包括:邻小区的信号质量好于主服务小区所属的频率组的服务小区一个第五偏置值;
Event A7(replacing A3 in multiple connection mode):neighbour becomes offset better than serving within its own frequency groups.
所述事件A8包括:邻小区的信号质量好于所述主服务小区所属的频率组对应的第四门限一个第六偏置值;
Event A8(replacing A4 in multiple connection mode):neighbour becomes offset better than threshold within its own frequency groups.
所述事件A9包括:主服务小区的信号质量差于第五门限,邻小区的信号质量好于主服务小区所属的频率组对应的第六门限一个第七偏置值。
Event A9(replacing A5 in multiple connection mode):PCell becomes worse than threshold1and neighbour becomes better than threshold2within its own frequency groups.
NOTE:UE will only consider Event A7/A8/A9in multiple connection mode,and only consider Event A3/A4/A5 in single connection mode.
其中,UE在使用多链接模式时,服务小区为小小区。
可选的,在一些发明实施例中,还可以根据小区的移动性场景重新定义UE的行为,以达到减少对事件A3、事件A4或事件A5的测量报告,并且能够有效减少过多虚拟小区基站和宏基站对于测量报告在回程链路的过多交互,使得宏基站能够更敏捷和高效地处理虚拟小区的移动性。具体如下:
所述用户设备对小小区、宏小区及所述小小区的邻小小区进行测量;
所述用户设备还执行如下项中之一:
在小小区的信号质量和邻小小区的信号质量均差于预设门限,且所述宏小区的信号质量处于稳定状态时,所述用户设备切换至单链接模式,并上报对所述邻小小区的事件A2;
在小小区的信号质量差于预设门限或预设偏置值,且与所述小小区同属一个宏基站的邻小小区好于预设门限时,所述用户设备切换至所述邻小小区,并上报对所述邻小区的事件A2和事件A3;
在小小区的信号质量和宏小区的信号质量均差于预设门限时,所述用户设备进行宏链路和小小区链路的重链接或切换,或者所述用户设备进行宏链路的重配置或切换,并上报对所述宏小区和所述小小区两者的事件A2和事件A3,或者上报对所述宏小区的事件A2、事件A3和对所述小小区的事件A2。
另外,在有虚拟小区的多链接场景中,对于实体小区,UE测量小区特殊参考信号(Cell Specific Reference Signal,CRS),对于虚拟小区,UE测量虚拟小区特殊参考信号(Virtual Cell Specific Reference Signal,VCRS),且现有的测量机制并不区分实体小区测量和虚拟小区测量。其中,VCRS由虚拟小区中的所有实体小区共同发出,因而信号质量比CRS更强,由于测量的信号不同,最终的测量结果也存在差异。本发明通过对测量事件进行扩展解决该问题,使得测量事件的触发更加合理化和准确化,具体参考图2,本发明实施例包括:
201、用户设备确定服务小区;
用户设备可以在宏小区和小小区中确定服务小区。
202、用户设备对所述服务小区和邻小区中的至少一个进行测量;
用户设备对所述服务小区和邻小区中的至少一个进行测量,主要包括三种情况:
对所述服务小区进行测量;对所述服务小区和邻小区进行测量;对所述邻小区进行测量,所述邻小区为所述服务小区关联的测量对象所指示的载频上的小区。
203、用户设备确定所述服务小区的测量结果和所述邻小区的测量结果中的至少一个满足预设的触发事件,则向网络侧发送携带所述触发事件的测量报告;
具体包括如下三种场景:
所述用户设备对所述服务小区进行测量,确定所述服务小区的测量结果满足所述触发事件时,向所述网络侧发送携带所述触发事件的测量报告。
所述用户设备对所述服务小区和邻小区进行测量,确定所述服务小区的测量结果和所述邻小区的测量结果满足预设的触发事件时,向所述网络侧发送携带所述触发事件的测量报告。
所述用户设备对所述邻小区进行测量,确定所述邻小区的测量结果满足所述触发事件时,向所述网络侧发送携带所述触发事件的测量报告。
其中,所述触发事件包括事件A3和事件A6中的至少一个;
所述事件A3包括:在实体小区间,邻小区的信号质量好于主服务小区的信号质量一个第一偏置值,在实体小区与虚拟小区间,一个第二偏置值好于所述主服务小区的信号质量;
Event A3(Neighbour becomes offset 1better than Pcell if between Rcell,offset 2better than Pcell if between Rcell and Vcell).
所述事件A6包括:在实体小区间,邻小区的信号质量好于辅服务小区的信号质量一个第一偏置值,在实体小区与虚拟小区间,一个所述第二偏置值好于所述辅服务小区的信号质量;
Event A6(Neighbour becomes offset 1 better than SCell if between Rcell,offset 2 better than Scell if between Rcell and Vcell).
其中,对于所述事件A3,将所述宏小区或所述小小区作为所述服务小区;
对于所述事件A6,将所述宏小区或所述小小区作为所述服务小区。
本发明实施例中,通过在事件A3和事件A6中分别对虚拟小区增加一个偏置值,使得UE在对于事件A3和事件A6进行相关测量时,消除对VCRS和CRS两者测量结果的偏差,使对上报测量事件的合理化。
可选的,在一些发明实施例中,在区分了实体小区测量和虚拟小区测量的基础上,本发明还可以进一步通过以下手段减少冗余的测量上报问题,具体如下:
分别为宏小区和小小区配置独立的测量对象,即在所述用户设备使用多链接模式时,所述测量对象包括第一测量对象和第二测量对象,使所述用户设备根据所述第一测量对象对所述宏小区进行测量,以及根据所述第二测量对象对所述小小区进行测量;或者,所述用户设备根据所述第一测量对象对虚拟小区进行测量,以及根据所述第二测量对象对实体小区进行测量。
另外,所述网络侧包括宏小区和/或主要传输点,所述第一测量对象由所述宏小区对宏基站所属频段配置,所述第二测量对象由所述宏小区对所述小小区所属频段配置;
或,所述第一测量对象由所述主要传输点对虚拟小区所属频段配置,所述第二测量对象由所述主要传输点对实体小区所属频段配置。
可选的,所述主要传输点为虚拟小区的主要传输点,或者为云小区的主要传输点。
在完成单独的测量后,用户设备可以向所述宏小区发送所述第一测量对象对应的测量结果,以及向所述宏小区或所述小小区或所述小小区所属的主要传输点发送所述第二测量对象对应的测量结果;
或,所述用户设备向所述虚拟小区的主要传输点或向所述云小区的主要传输点发送所述第一测量对象对应的测量结果,以及向所述虚拟小区的主要传输点、所述云小区的主要传输点或实体小区之一发送所述第二测量对象对应的测量结果。
可选的,在分别为宏小区和小小区配置独立的测量对象的基础上,还可以通过增加测量程序中服务小区的定义,进一步减少冗余的测量上报,故所述服 务小区满足以下之一:
所述用户设备支持载波聚合时,所述服务小区包括主服务小区和至少一个辅服务小区;
对于多链接模式,所述服务小区根据配置的所述测量对象定义;
对于所述第一测量对象,所述服务小区为配置所述第一测量对象的主服务小区;
对于所述第二测量对象,所述服务小区为所述小小区上的主链接。
再者,在现有测量机制中,UE在选择驻留和链接的小区过程中,需要对当前小区及邻小区进行测量,最终会选择一个信号质量较好或最强的小区驻留和链接,在这个过程中,考虑到虚拟小区基站和宏基站对于UE的测量报告在回程链路会频繁进行交互,特别是对于UDN网络架构中的灵活回程链路,虚拟小区基站和宏基站的交互过多,会导致在回程链路的容量不足时,降低UE的吞吐量,另外,在回程的跳数过多时,也会增加UE的业务时延,UE在根据现有的测量事件进行切换流程时,很有可能切换至回程链路存在缺陷的小区,可能导致UE无法进行正常某些业务,降低用户体验。故本发明实施例通过对事件进行重新定义使UE能够选择适合驻留和链接的小区,具体可以增加对回程链路负载和/或灵活回程链路的跳数的判断,使得宏基站更敏捷、高效的处理虚拟小区的移动性。参阅图3,本发明实施例包括:
301、用户设备确定服务小区;
其中,所述服务小区可以在宏小区和小小区中确定,所述服务小区包括主服务小区和至少一个辅服务小区。
302、用户设备对所述服务小区和邻小区中的至少一个进行测量;
用户设备对所述服务小区和邻小区中的至少一个进行测量,主要包括三种情况:
对所述服务小区进行测量;对所述服务小区和邻小区进行测量;对所述邻小区进行测量,所述邻小区为所述服务小区关联的测量对象所指示的载频上的小区;
303、用户设备确定所述服务小区的测量结果和所述邻小区的测量结果中 的至少一个满足预设的触发事件,并向网络侧发送携带所述触发事件的测量报告;
具体包括如下三种场景:
所述用户设备对所述服务小区进行测量,确定所述服务小区的测量结果满足所述触发事件时,向所述网络侧发送携带所述触发事件的测量报告。
所述用户设备对所述服务小区和邻小区进行测量,确定所述服务小区的测量结果和所述邻小区的测量结果满足预设的触发事件时,向所述网络侧发送携带所述触发事件的测量报告。

参阅图4,以下对执行上述一种小区测量报告的方法的一种用户设备进行详细描述,该用户设备包括:
发送器401;
接收器402,用于接收网络侧配置的测量配置信息;
处理器403根据接收器402接收到的所述测量配置信息选择服务小区;
测量器404,用于根据所述测量配置信息对所述服务小区进行测量,确定所述服务小区的测量结果满足预设的触发事件,根据所述测量配置信息的指示,利用所述发送器401向所述网络侧发送携带所述触发事件的测量报告;
所述测量器404还用于根据所述测量配置信息对所述服务小区和邻小区进行测量,所述邻小区为所述服务小区关联的测量对象所指示的载频上的小区,确定所述服务小区的测量结果和所述邻小区的测量结果满足所述触发事件时,根据所述测量配置信息的指示,利用所述发送器401向所述网络侧发送携带所述触发事件的测量报告;
所述测量器404根据所述测量配置信息对所述邻小区进行测量,确定所述邻小区的测量结果满足所述触发事件时,根据所述测量配置信息的指示,利用所述发送器401向所述网络侧发送携带所述触发事件的测量报告。
本发明实施例中,测量器404根据测量配置信息对选择的服务小区和/或邻小区进行测量,发送器401根据测量配置信息向网络侧发送携带触发事件的测量报告,即仅对服务小区进行测量时,只对该服务小区进行测量上报,避免同时对其他小区进行测量上报;仅对邻小区进行测量时,仅对该邻小区进行测量上报,避免对服务小区进行测量报告;在对选择的服务小区及其邻小区测量时,只针对该服务小区及其邻小区进行测量报告,避免对其他小区及其邻小区 进行测量上报,从而减少测量报告数目,另外用户设备可以根据测量配置信息的指示仅向测量配置的主体上报触发事件,可以进一步减少需要上报的测量事件,从而减少信令消耗,再者,通过有针对性的只对选定的服务小区进行测量上报,避免对其他无关小区进行测量上报,提高测量上报的效率。
可选的,所述网络侧包括宏小区和/或主要传输点,所述服务小区由所述用户设备在宏小区和小小区中确定。所述主要传输点为虚拟小区的主要传输点,或者为云小区的主要传输点。
可选的,所述测量配置信息至少包括以下之一:配置的测量对象、测量对象所属频段、小区列表、报告方式、测量标识、事件参数。
可选的,在一些发明实施例中,还可以通过分别为宏小区和小小区配置独立的测量,以及建立独立的上报机制,使得测量事件更加合理化,提高上报触发事件的准确度,以及区分针对宏小区和小小区的触发事件,具体为:
在所述用户设备使用多链接模式时,所述测量对象包括第一测量对象和第二测量对象,所述服务小区包括宏小区和小小区,所述测量器404具体用于:
根据所述第一测量对象对所述宏小区进行测量,以及根据所述第二测量对象对所述小小区进行测量;
或根据所述第一测量对象对虚拟小区进行测量,以及根据所述第二测量对象对实体小区进行测量。
可选的,所述第一测量对象由所述宏小区对宏基站所属频段配置,所述第二测量对象由所述宏小区对所述小小区所属频段配置;
或,所述第一测量对象由所述主要传输点对虚拟小区所属频段配置,所述第二测量对象由所述主要传输点对实体小区所属频段配置。
可选的,在一些发明实施例中,所述所述发送器401用于:
向所述宏小区发送所述第一测量对象对应的测量结果,以及向所述宏小区或所述小小区或所述小小区所属的主要传输点发送所述第二测量对象对应的测量结果;
或,向所述虚拟小区的主要传输点或向所述云小区的主要传输点发送所述第一测量对象对应的测量结果,以及向所述虚拟小区的主要传输点、所述云小区的主要传输点或实体小区之一发送所述第二测量对象对应的测量结果。由于在大多场景中,小小区的信号质量都好于宏小区,采用单独配置测量后,不会将小小区与宏小区进行比较,即不会对这两类小区的比较结果进行上报,从而减少了测量报告的数目。
可选的,在一些发明实施例中,所述测量器404还用于:
当所述虚拟小区的信号质量低于预设门限时,对所述虚拟小区的相邻虚拟小区、所述相邻虚拟小区所属的实体小区或所述虚拟小区相邻的实体小区进行测量。
可选的,在一些发明实施例中,还可以通过在3GPP 36.331规范中重新定义服务小区,以及需要上报的触发事件来提高上报重要的触发事件的有效性,具体如下:
所述触发事件包括事件A2和事件A3,所述服务小区满足以下之一:
所述用户设备支持载波聚合时,所述服务小区包括主服务小区和至少一个辅服务小区;
对于多链接模式,所述服务小区根据配置的所述测量对象定义;
对于所述第一测量对象,所述服务小区为配置所述第一测量对象的主服务小区;
对于所述第二测量对象,所述服务小区为所述小小区上的主链接。

For MeasObject,the serving cell is the cell which configures the measurement object;

可选的,在一些发明实施例中,还可以根据UE的工作模式重新定义测量的频率组,也可以是在重新定义服务小区和单独为宏小区、小小区配置独立的测量对象的基础上,进一步根据UE的工作模式重新定义测量的频率组,以实现只上报关键的、有用的测量报告,更具针对性和高效性。具体分以下两种情况:

二、基于UE的工作模式和频率组,具体选择测量的频率组可以通过重新定义事件的Note实现:
所述事件A3、所述事件A4及所述事件A5满足如下项中至少一项:
1、在3GPP TS36.331中,对事件A3的Notes进行修改

For single connection or multiple connection mode,the frequency list may include different frequency groups.
In single connection mode,both the macro frequency group and the virtual cell frequency group will be considered in measurement objects;for multiple connection mode,only macro frequency group is considered.
2、在TS36.331中,为事件A4增加一个新的Note
所述事件A4包括:触发所述事件A4的小区在与所述测量对象相关联的第二频率上被指示,所述第二频率与所述主服务小区使用的频率不同,在所单链接模式时,所述测量对象包含宏小区频率组和虚拟小区频率组;在多链接模式时,所述测量对象包含宏小区频率组;
新的Notes如下:

For single connection or multiple connection mode,the frequency list may  include different frequency groups.
In single connection mode,both the macro frequency group and the virtual cell frequency group will be considered in measurement objects;for multiple connection mode,only macro frequency group is considered.
3、在TS36.331中,对事件A5的Notes进行修改所述事件A5包括:触发所述事件A5的小区在与所述测量对象相关联的第三频率上被指示,所述第三频率与所述主服务小区使用的频率不同,在所单链接模式时,所述测量对象包含宏小区频率组和虚拟小区频率组;在多链接模式时,所述测量对象包含宏小区频率组。

In single connection mode,both the macro frequency group and the virtual cell frequency group will be considered in measurement objects;for multiple connection mode,only macro frequency group is considered.
可选的,在一些发明实施例中,可以通过为小小区的特定频率组在3GPP TS36.331中增加新的事件预先定义UE在不同的工作模式时上报的触发事件,以提高测量机制的灵活性,同时UE只上报关键的、有用的测量报告,通过减少需要上报的测量事件,从而减少信令消耗。例如专门为使用多链接模式的UE定义新的事件A7、事件A8和事件A9,以代替原测量机制中的事件A3、事件A4和事件A5,使得UE在使用单链接模式时使用事件A3、事件A4和事件A5,在多链接模式时使用事件A7、事件A8和事件A9,具体如下:
1、所述用户设备使用单链接模式时,所述触发事件包括事件A3、事件A4和事件A5;
所述用户设备使用多链接模式时,所述服务小区为小小区,所述触发事件包括事件A7、事件A8和事件A9;
2、关于新的事件A7、事件A8及事件A9的定义如下:
所述事件A7包括:邻小区的信号质量好于主服务小区所属的频率组的服务小区一个第五偏置值;
Event A7(replacing A3 in multiple connection mode):neighbour becomes offset better than serving within its own frequency groups.
所述事件A8包括:邻小区的信号质量好于所述主服务小区所属的频率组对应的第四门限一个第六偏置值;

所述事件A9包括:主服务小区的信号质量差于第五门限,邻小区的信号质量好于主服务小区所属的频率组对应的第六门限一个第七偏置值。
Event A9(replacing A5 in multiple connection mode):PCell becomes worse than threshold1 and neighbour becomes better than threshold2 within its own frequency groups.
NOTE:UE will only consider Event A7/A8/A9 in multiple connection mode,and only consider Event A3/A4/A5 in single connection mode.
可选的,在一些发明实施例中,还可以根据小区的移动性场景重新定义UE的行为,以达到减少对事件A3、事件A4或事件A5的测量报告,并且能够有效减少过多虚拟小区基站和宏基站对于测量报告在回程链路的过多交互,使得宏基站能够更敏捷和高效地处理虚拟小区的移动性。具体如下:
所述测量器404对小小区、宏小区及所述小小区的邻小小区进行测量;
所述处理器403执行如下项中之一:
在小小区的信号质量和邻小小区的信号质量均差于所述预设门限,且所述宏小区的信号质量处于稳定状态时,使所述用户设备切换至单链接模式,并利用所述发送器401上报对所述邻小小区的事件A2;

在小小区的信号质量和宏小区的信号质量均差于所述预设门限时,所述用户设备进行宏链路和小小区链路的重链接或切换,或者所述用户设备进行宏链路的重配置或切换,并利用所述发送器上报对所述宏小区和所述小小区两者的事件A2和事件A3,或者利用所述发送器401上报对所述宏小区的事件A2、事件A3和对所述小小区的事件A2。
参阅图4,下面对本发明实施例中的另一种用户设备进行说明,在有虚拟小区的多链接场景中,对于实体小区,UE测量小区特殊参考信号(Cell Specific Reference Signal,CRS),对于虚拟小区,UE测量虚拟小区特殊参考信号(Virtual Cell Specific Reference Signal,VCRS),且现有的测量机制并不区分实体小区测量和虚拟小区测量。其中,VCRS由虚拟小区中的所有实体小区共同发出,因而信号质量比CRS更强,由于测量的信号不同,最终的测量结果也存在差异。本发明通过对测量事件进行扩展解决该问题,使得测量事件的触发更加合理化和准确化,该用户设备40包括发送器401;
处理器403,用于确定服务小区,用户设备可以在宏小区和小小区中确定服务小区。

本发明实施例中,通过在事件A3和事件A6中分别对虚拟小区增加一个偏置值,使得UE在对于事件A3和事件A6进行相关测量时,消除对VCRS和CRS两者测量结果的偏差,使对上报测量事件的合理化。
可选的,在一些发明实施例中,所述处理器403具体用于:
对于所述事件A3,将宏小区或小小区作为所述服务小区;
对于所述事件A6,将所宏小区或所述小小区作为所述服务小区。
可选的,在一些发明实施例中,在区分了实体小区测量和虚拟小区测量的基础上,本发明还可以进一步通过以下手段减少冗余的测量上报问题,在所述用户设备使用多链接模式时,分别为宏小区和小小区配置独立的测量对象,即所述测量对象包括第一测量对象和第二测量对象,所述测量器404具体用于:
根据所述第一测量对象对所述宏小区进行测量,以及根据所述第二测量对象对所述小小区进行测量;
或根据所述第一测量对象对虚拟小区进行测量,以及根据所述第二测量对象对实体小区进行测量。
可选的,所述网络侧包括宏小区和/或主要传输点,所述第一测量对象由所述宏小区对宏基站所属频段配置,所述第二测量对象由所述宏小区对所述小小区所属频段配置;

可选的,在一些发明实施例中,所述发送器401具体用于:
向所述宏小区发送所述第一测量对象对应的测量结果,以及向所述宏小区或所述小小区或所述小小区所属的主要传输点发送所述第二测量对象对应的测量结果;
或,向所述虚拟小区的主要传输点或向所述云小区的主要传输点发送所述第一测量对象对应的测量结果,以及向所述虚拟小区的主要传输点、所述云小区的主要传输点或实体小区之一发送所述第二测量对象对应的测量结果。
可选的,在一些发明实施例中,所述测量器404还用于:
当所述虚拟小区的信号质量低于预设门限时,对所述虚拟小区的相邻虚拟小区、所述相邻虚拟小区所属的实体小区或所述虚拟小区相邻的实体小区进行测量。
可选的,在一些发明实施例中,在分别为宏小区和小小区配置独立的测量对象的基础上,还可以通过在3GPP 36.331规范中增加测量程序中服务小区的定义,进一步减少冗余的测量上报,故所述服务小区满足以下之一:
所述服务小区满足以下之一:
所述用户设备支持载波聚合时,所述服务小区包括主服务小区和至少一个辅服务小区;
对于多链接模式,所述服务小区根据配置的所述测量对象定义;
对于所述第一测量对象,所述服务小区为配置所述第一测量对象的主服务小区;

The measurement procedures distinguish the following types of cells:
2.The serving cell(s)–these are the PCell and one or more SCells,if configured for a UE supporting CA.
For multiple connection mode scenario,the serving cell definition depends on measurement objects configured.

参阅图4,为本发明实施例中提供一种用户设备进行描述,在现有测量机制中,UE在选择驻留和链接的小区过程中,需要对当前小区及邻小区进行测量,最终会选择一个信号质量较好或最强的小区驻留和链接,在这个过程中,考虑到虚拟小区基站和宏基站对于UE的测量报告在回程链路会频繁进行交互,特别是对于UDN网络架构中的灵活回程链路,虚拟小区基站和宏基站的交互过多,会导致在回程链路的容量不足时,降低UE的吞吐量,另外,在回程的跳数过多时,也会增加UE的业务时延,UE在根据现有的测量事件进行切换流程时,很有可能切换至回程链路存在缺陷的小区,可能导致UE无法进行正常某些业务,降低用户体验。故本发明实施例通过对事件进行重新定义使UE能够选择适合驻留和链接的小区,具体可以增加对回程链路负载和/或灵活回程链路的跳数的判断。
