Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及移动通信系统间的切换技术,特别涉及一种从宽带码分多址系统(WCDMA)到全球移动通信系统(GSM)的盲切换方法。The invention relates to a handover technology between mobile communication systems, in particular to a blind handover method from a wideband code division multiple access system (WCDMA) to a global system for mobile communication (GSM).
背景技术Background technique
GSM是一种时分多址通信技术,目前被广泛应用于第二代移动通信(2G)网络系统中,并且已经形成了全球覆盖范围最大的移动商业网络。GSM is a time division multiple access communication technology, which is currently widely used in the second generation mobile communication (2G) network system, and has formed the largest mobile commercial network in the world.
WCDMA是一种扩频通信技术,在初期主要应用于军事通信。由于其具有频率利用率高、抗干扰能力强、网络容量大、保密性能好、支持宽带多媒体、手机功耗低和发射功率小等一系列卓越的性能,目前在民用通信领域,尤其是在第三代移动通信(3G)网络系统中获得了广泛的关注和应用。WCDMA is a spread spectrum communication technology, which was mainly used in military communication in the early stage. Due to its high frequency utilization rate, strong anti-interference ability, large network capacity, good confidentiality performance, support for broadband multimedia, low power consumption of mobile phones and low transmission power, etc., it is currently used in the field of civil communications, especially in the It has gained wide attention and application in the three generation mobile communication (3G) network system.
为了提高频谱资源的利用率和整个系统的容量,现有的蜂窝移动通信系统中基站的射频功率被局限于一定的小区范围之内。当移动台离开一个小区进入另外一个小区,移动台接收到的原来小区的信号必然越来越弱,而它接收到的正在进入小区的信号将越来越强。为了保持移动台的通信质量,必将对移动台的接续由原来的基站切换到新进入的信号较强的基站,这就是蜂窝移动通信系统中切换的概念。In order to improve the utilization rate of spectrum resources and the capacity of the whole system, the radio frequency power of the base station in the existing cellular mobile communication system is limited within a certain cell range. When a mobile station leaves a cell and enters another cell, the signal received by the mobile station from the original cell must become weaker and weaker, while the signal it receives from the entering cell will become stronger and stronger. In order to maintain the communication quality of the mobile station, the connection of the mobile station must be switched from the original base station to the newly entered base station with stronger signal. This is the concept of handover in the cellular mobile communication system.
由于目前已经形成了覆盖范围完整的GSM商业网络,从运营商建设3G网络的综合效益出发,必将要求尽可能多的利用已有网络,将3G网络业务中能够被2G网络支持的业务切换到GSM网络系统中。Since a GSM commercial network with complete coverage has been formed at present, starting from the comprehensive benefits of 3G network construction by operators, it will be required to use the existing network as much as possible to switch the services that can be supported by 2G networks in 3G network services to In the GSM network system.
从实现的方式来说,从WCDMA到GSM的切换可以分为基于测量的切换和盲切换。现有技术中从WCDMA到GSM的切换是基于测量的。From the way of realization, the handover from WCDMA to GSM can be divided into measurement-based handover and blind handover. The handover from WCDMA to GSM in the prior art is based on measurement.
请参见图1,图1为用户设备(UE)所在小区位置的示意图。WCDMA-cell为WCDMA系统小区,GSM-cell为GSM系统小区,UE位于WCDMA-cell 1、2和GSM-cell 1的交集中。当UE移动到如图1所示的位置时,现有技术中从WCDMA到GSM的切换步骤如下:Please refer to FIG. 1 . FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a location of a cell where a user equipment (UE) is located. WCDMA-cell is a WCDMA system cell, GSM-cell is a GSM system cell, and UE is located in the intersection of WCDMA-
1、无线网络控制器(RNC)下发切换的目标小区列表;假设当前活动集中的最优小区为WCDMA-cell 1,则切换的目标小区为WCDMA-cell 1的GSM邻区:GSM-cell 1、2、3、6、7;1. The radio network controller (RNC) sends the handover target cell list; assuming that the optimal cell in the current active set is WCDMA-cell 1, the handover target cell is the GSM neighbor cell of WCDMA-cell 1: GSM-
活动集是UE在与网络通信过程中,WCDMA系统中同时为通话中的UE提供服务的小区,活动集中的小区数目可以为1个或者多个;最优小区是活动集中UE测量的导频信号质量最好的小区;图1中假设活动集中的小区为WCDMA-cell 1和WCDMA-cell 2,最优小区为WCDMA-cell 1;The active set is the cell that provides services to the UE in the WCDMA system while the UE is communicating with the network. The number of cells in the active set can be one or more; the optimal cell is the pilot signal measured by the UE in the active set The cell with the best quality; in Figure 1, it is assumed that the cells in the active concentration are WCDMA-cell 1 and WCDMA-
2、UE测量目标小区GSM-cell 1、2、3、6、7的信号质量;2. The UE measures the signal quality of the target cell GSM-
3、UE上报目标小区GSM-cell 1、2、3、6、7的测量报告;3. The UE reports the measurement report of the target cell GSM-
4、根据UE上报的测量报告,RNC选择切换的目标小区,比如GSM-cell 1或者GSM-cell 6,尝试进行切换;4. According to the measurement report reported by the UE, the RNC selects the target cell for handover, such as GSM-cell 1 or GSM-cell 6, and tries to handover;
5、如果切换失败,则返回等待UE的测量报告触发下一次切换。5. If the handover fails, return to wait for the UE's measurement report to trigger the next handover.
现有技术中从WCDMA到GSM的切换是基于测量的,而测量是需要时间的,包括信令更新的时延和实际测量需要的时间。在某些场景下,比如当核心网(CN)请求建立新的业务,但当前小区无法分配所需资源时,测量就需要的较长的时间,而一次信令交互的时间不可能有很长的等待时间,基于测量的切换方式通常无法满足如此短时间的要求。核心网是WCDMA网络中的架构概念,属于WCDMA网络组成部分之一,该部分与无线接入技术无关。再比如,如果由于当前小区负载较重,希望将部分用户切换到GSM小区中,此时如果使用基于测量的切换方式,往往会导致更大的系统处理负荷和无线资源的损失。The handover from WCDMA to GSM in the prior art is based on measurement, and measurement takes time, including the time delay of signaling update and the time required for actual measurement. In some scenarios, such as when the core network (CN) requests to establish a new service, but the current cell cannot allocate the required resources, the measurement takes a long time, and the time for a signaling interaction cannot be very long The waiting time based on the measurement usually cannot meet the requirement of such a short time. The core network is an architectural concept in the WCDMA network, and it is one of the components of the WCDMA network, which has nothing to do with the radio access technology. For another example, if some users are expected to be handed over to the GSM cell due to the heavy load of the current cell, if the measurement-based handover method is used at this time, it will often lead to a greater system processing load and a loss of radio resources.
对于盲切换方式,UE不必对目标小区的信号质量进行测量,完全由RNC来决定是否进行切换,由RNC直接指定UE到切换的目标GSM小区中进行重试。一般来说,RNC会根据UE所在的位置,决定是否进行切换,切换的速度很快。For the blind handover mode, the UE does not need to measure the signal quality of the target cell, and the RNC completely decides whether to perform the handover, and the RNC directly designates the UE to retry in the handover target GSM cell. Generally speaking, the RNC will decide whether to perform handover according to the location of the UE, and the handover speed is very fast.
而盲切换的难点在于如何确定切换的目标GSM小区,并使切换的目标GSM小区适应实际应用环境因UE的移动而发生的变化。因为在实际网络中,一个WCDMA小区往往会有多个GSM邻区,UE的移动方向不同,需要切换的目标GSM小区也不同。在实际网络中RNC很难获得UE移动方向的信息,切换中可能会出现掉话等现象,切换的成功率低。正因如此,在目前条件下,盲切换还很难在实际的网络中得以推广应用。However, the difficulty of blind handover is how to determine the handover target GSM cell, and how to make the handover target GSM cell adapt to changes in the actual application environment due to the movement of the UE. Because in an actual network, a WCDMA cell often has multiple GSM neighbor cells, and the moving direction of the UE is different, and the target GSM cell to be handed over is also different. In an actual network, it is difficult for the RNC to obtain information about the moving direction of the UE, and calls may be dropped during the handover, and the success rate of the handover is low. Because of this, under current conditions, blind handover is still difficult to be popularized and applied in actual networks.
发明内容Contents of the invention
有鉴于此,本发明的主要目的在于提供一种从WCDMA到GSM的盲切换方法,减少切换时延和切换不及时导致的掉话风险。In view of this, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a blind handover method from WCDMA to GSM, which reduces handover time delay and call drop risk caused by untimely handover.
为达到上述目的,本发明提供了一种从WCDMA到GSM的盲切换方法,RNC预先指定WCDMA小区的GSM邻区的优先级,该切换过程至少包括以下步骤:In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a kind of blind handover method from WCDMA to GSM, RNC pre-designates the priority of the GSM adjacent area of WCDMA sub-district, and this handover process at least comprises the following steps:
A、根据活动集中包含的WCDMA小区,生成参考候选集;A. Generate a reference candidate set according to the WCDMA cells included in the active set;
B、取参考候选集中所有WCDMA小区的GSM邻区的交集,根据交集中GSM小区的优先级,生成切换的目标GSM小区重试候选集;B, get the intersection of the GSM neighbors of all WCDMA sub-districts in the reference candidate set, according to the priority of the GSM sub-district in the intersection, generate the retry candidate set of the target GSM sub-district of handover;
C、依次向核心网(CN)和用户设备(UE)返回目标GSM小区重试候选集中的小区,使UE到目标GSM小区重试候选集中的小区尝试进行切换。C. Return the cells in the target GSM cell retry candidate set to the core network (CN) and the user equipment (UE) in sequence, so that the UE tries to perform handover to the cells in the target GSM cell retry candidate set.
上述方案中,所述的GSM邻区的优先级的指定方法为:根据在实际应用中需要向GSM小区切换的概率或者GSM小区的覆盖范围与WCDMA小区的覆盖范围重合度来指定,概率越大或重合度越高,则指定对应的GSM小区的优先级就越高。In the above-mentioned scheme, the designated method of the priority of the GSM neighboring cell is: according to the probability of needing to switch to the GSM cell in practical application or the coverage of the GSM cell and the coverage of the WCDMA cell to designate, the greater the probability Or the higher the coincidence degree, the higher the priority of specifying the corresponding GSM cell.
上述方案中,所述的步骤A包括:In the above-mentioned scheme, described step A comprises:
A1、选择活动集中的最优小区放入参考候选集;A1. Select the optimal cell in the active set and put it into the reference candidate set;
A2、选择活动集中的非最优小区放入参考候选集;A2. Select the non-optimal cells in the active set and put them into the reference candidate set;
A3、判断参考候选集中小区数目是否超过预先配置的“参考候选集大小”,若超过则从参考候选集中,取前“参考候选集大小”个小区作为最终的参考候选集,若没有超过则此参考候选集就是最终的参考候选集。A3. Determine whether the number of cells in the reference candidate set exceeds the pre-configured "reference candidate set size". If it exceeds, take the first "reference candidate set size" cells from the reference candidate set as the final reference candidate set. If not, then this The reference candidate set is the final reference candidate set.
上述方案中,所述的生成参考候选集之前,RNC根据记录的每个测量报告的上报时间和对应的小区标识,判断非活动集中小区的测量报告是否有效:如果测量报告无效,则直接将活动集中包含的WCDMA小区,放入参考候选集;如果测量报告有效,则获取网络端缓存的非活动集中小区的测量报告,并根据测量报告计算小区信号质量的映射值,然后将活动集中包含的WCDMA小区和映射值对应的小区,放入参考候选集。In the above solution, before generating the reference candidate set, the RNC judges whether the measurement report of the cells in the inactive set is valid according to the reported reporting time of each recorded measurement report and the corresponding cell identity: if the measurement report is invalid, the active The WCDMA cells contained in the set are put into the reference candidate set; if the measurement report is valid, the measurement report of the inactive cells in the network cache is obtained, and the mapping value of the signal quality of the cell is calculated according to the measurement report, and then the WCDMA cells contained in the active set are The cell corresponding to the cell and the mapping value is put into the reference candidate set.
上述方案中,所述的计算小区信号质量的映射值包括以下步骤:In the above scheme, the calculation of the mapping value of the cell signal quality includes the following steps:

C2、丢弃缓存时间大于最大有效时间的小区;C2. Discard the cells whose cache time is greater than the maximum valid time;
C3、把小区测量值、缓存时间和线性因子代入公式“映射值=小区测量值-缓存时间(s)×线性因子(dB/s)”,计算出当前的小区信号质量的映射值;C3, substituting the cell measurement value, buffer time and linear factor into the formula "mapping value=cell measurement value-buffer time (s) * linear factor (dB/s)", calculates the mapping value of the current cell signal quality;
C4、丢弃映射值差于预先配置的“参考候选集门限”的小区;C4. Discarding cells whose mapping value is worse than the pre-configured "reference candidate set threshold";
C5、按映射值由大到小的顺序排序映射值对应的小区。C5. Sort the cells corresponding to the mapping values in descending order of the mapping values.
上述方案中,所述的将活动集中包含的WCDMA小区和映射值对应的小区放入参考候选集,是先将活动集中包含的WCDMA小区放入参考候选集,然后再将映射值对应的小区按影射值的大小顺序依次放入参考候选集。In the above scheme, the described putting the WCDMA cells contained in the active set and the cells corresponding to the mapping values into the reference candidate set is to first put the WCDMA cells contained in the active set into the reference candidate set, and then put the cells corresponding to the mapping values into the reference candidate set. The size order of the mapping values is put into the reference candidate set in turn.
上述方案中,所述的步骤B包括:In the above-mentioned scheme, described step B comprises:
B1、选择参考候选集中所有WCDMA小区的GSM邻区的交集;B1, select the intersection of the GSM neighbors of all WCDMA cells in the reference candidate set;
B2、根据GSM小区的优先级,确定GSM小区在活动集最优小区中的选择顺序,根据GSM小区在活动集最优小区中的选择顺序,确定交集中GSM小区的选择顺序;B2, according to the priority of GSM sub-district, determine the selection order of GSM sub-district in the optimal sub-district of active set, according to the selection order of GSM sub-district in the optimal sub-district of active set, determine the selection order of GSM sub-district in the intersection;
B3、按选择顺序将交集中GSM小区放入目标GSM小区重试候选集;B3, put the GSM cell in the intersection into the target GSM cell retry candidate set according to the selection order;
B4、判断目标GSM小区重试候选集中的小区数目是否超过预先配置的“GSM小区重试候选集大小”,若超过则从目标GSM小区重试候选集中,取前“GSM小区重试候选集大小”个GSM小区作为最终切换的目标GSM小区重试候选集,若没有超过则此目标GSM小区重试候选集就是最终切换的目标GSM小区重试候选集。B4, judge whether the number of cells in the target GSM cell retry candidate set exceeds the pre-configured "GSM cell retry candidate set size", if it exceeds, then from the target GSM cell retry candidate set, get the previous "GSM cell retry candidate set size" " GSM cells are used as the final handover target GSM cell retry candidate set, if not exceeded, then this target GSM cell retry candidate set is the final handover target GSM cell retry candidate set.
该方法进一步包括,在切换前RNC对CN当前请求建立的业务类型进行判决:UE当前所处的WCDMA小区,如果不能为CN当前请求建立的业务类型分配足够的资源,并且CN当前请求建立的业务类型,在GSM网络中也能够被支持,则进行盲切换。UE当前所处的WCDMA小区,虽然可以为CN当前请求建立的业务类型分配足够的资源,但是希望将CN当前请求建立的业务类型放入GSM网络系统中;则进行盲切换。The method further includes, before the handover, the RNC judges the service type currently requested by the CN: if the WCDMA cell where the UE is currently located cannot allocate sufficient resources for the service type currently requested by the CN, and the service type currently requested by the CN type, which can also be supported in the GSM network, then perform blind handover. Although the WCDMA cell where the UE is currently located can allocate sufficient resources for the service type currently requested by the CN, but it is desired to put the service type currently requested by the CN into the GSM network system; then perform blind handover.
本发明提供了一种从WCDMA到GSM的盲切换方法。当从WCDMA到GSM进行切换时,无需UE对GSM小区进行测量,大大地减小了切换过程中的时延;RNC根据活动集中包含的WCDMA小区生成参考候选集,取参考候选集中WCDMA小区的多个GSM邻区的交集,生成切换的目标GSM小区;从而充分利用当前网络的已有信息,减少切换时延和切换不及时导致的掉话风险。The invention provides a blind switching method from WCDMA to GSM. When switching from WCDMA to GSM, there is no need for the UE to measure the GSM cells, which greatly reduces the delay in the switching process; the RNC generates a reference candidate set according to the WCDMA cells contained in the active set, and takes multiple WCDMA cells in the reference candidate set The intersection of two GSM neighboring cells generates a handover target GSM cell; thereby making full use of the existing information of the current network to reduce the handover delay and the risk of call drop caused by untimely handover.

具体实施方式Detailed ways
为使本发明的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚明白,下面参照附图并举实施例,对本发明进一步详细的说明。In order to make the object, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
本发明中RNC预先为WCDMA网络的每个小区配置GSM邻近小区,并指定GSM邻近小区的优先级。本文中为表述方便,假设0代表最高的优先级,64代表最低的优先级。每一个GSM小区对应一个优先级,优先级越高,盲切换时将其选择作为目标小区的可能性就越大。指定GSM邻近小区优先级的原则为:在实际应用中需要向GSM小区切换的概率越大,或者GSM小区的覆盖范围与WCDMA小区的覆盖范围重合度越高,则对应的GSM小区的优先级就越高。In the present invention, RNC pre-configures GSM adjacent cells for each cell in the WCDMA network, and specifies the priority of GSM adjacent cells. For the convenience of expression in this article, it is assumed that 0 represents the highest priority and 64 represents the lowest priority. Each GSM cell corresponds to a priority. The higher the priority, the greater the possibility of selecting it as the target cell during blind handover. The principle of specifying the priority of GSM adjacent cells is: in practical applications, the greater the probability of handover to GSM cells, or the higher the coverage of GSM cells and the coverage of WCDMA cells, the higher the priority of the corresponding GSM cells. higher.
针对图1所示的示意图中,RNC预先为WCDMA-cell 1配置的GSM邻区为GSM 6、1、3、2、7,并根据上述指定优先级的原则指定GSM 6、1、3、2、7的优先级分别为0、1、2、3、4;RNC预先为WCDMA-cell 2配置的GSM邻区为GSM-cell 1、3、4、5、6,并根据上述指定优先级的原则指定GSM-cell 1、3、4、5、6的优先级分别为0、1、2、3、4。For the schematic diagram shown in Figure 1, the GSM neighbor cells pre-configured by the RNC for WCDMA-cell 1 are
本发明在需要切换时,RNC根据活动集中包含的WCDMA小区生成参考候选集,取参考候选集中WCDMA小区的多个GSM邻区的交集,生成切换的目标GSM小区,根据目标GSM小区优先级的高低,UE依次尝试进行切换。In the present invention, when handover is required, the RNC generates a reference candidate set according to the WCDMA cells included in the active set, takes the intersection of a plurality of GSM neighboring cells of the WCDMA cell in the reference candidate set, and generates a handover target GSM cell, according to the priority of the target GSM cell , the UE tries to perform handover in turn.
网络端缓存UE上报的测量报告,并记录每个测量报告的上报时间和对应的小区标识;缓存的测量报告是UE根据协议25.33 1规定,对WCDMA小区适时进行测量的同频测量报告,缓存时采用覆盖保存方式,后测的测量报告覆盖其前的测量报告。The network side caches the measurement reports reported by the UE, and records the reporting time and corresponding cell identity of each measurement report; the cached measurement report is the same-frequency measurement report that the UE performs timely measurement of the WCDMA cell according to the provisions of the protocol 25.331. In the way of overwriting and saving, the measurement report of the post-test covers the previous measurement report.
当UE移动到如图1所示的位置时,WCDMA网络系统的RNC对CN当前请求建立的业务类型进行判决:UE当前所处的WCDMA小区,如果不能为CN当前请求建立的业务类型分配足够的资源,并且CN当前请求建立的业务类型,在GSM网络中也能够被支持;或者UE当前所处的WCDMA小区,虽然可以为CN当前请求建立的业务类型分配足够的资源,但是基于最大限度地利用已有GSM网络资源的目的,希望将CN当前请求建立的业务类型放入GSM网络系统中,则可以进行盲切换。When the UE moves to the position shown in Figure 1, the RNC of the WCDMA network system judges the type of service currently requested by the CN: if the WCDMA cell where the UE is currently located cannot allocate enough space for the type of service currently requested by the CN Resources, and the service type currently requested by the CN can also be supported in the GSM network; or the WCDMA cell where the UE is currently located, although sufficient resources can be allocated for the service type currently requested by the CN, based on the maximum utilization For the purpose of existing GSM network resources, it is hoped to put the service type currently requested by the CN into the GSM network system, so blind handover can be performed.
请参见图2,图2为本发明一个较佳实施例的从WCDMA到GSM的盲切换方法流程图,该方法至少包括以下步骤:Please refer to Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is the blind handover method flowchart from WCDMA to GSM of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and this method at least includes the following steps:
步骤201:RNC根据活动集中包含的WCDMA小区,生成参考候选集;Step 201: RNC generates a reference candidate set according to the WCDMA cells included in the active set;
在生成参考候选集之前,RNC根据记录的每个测量报告的上报时间和对应的小区标识,判断非活动集中小区的测量报告是否有效:如果因缓存时间超时等原因测量报告无效,则直接根据活动集中包含的WCDMA小区,生成参考候选集;如果测量报告有效,则获取网络端缓存的非活动集中小区的测量报告,并根据测量报告计算小区信号质量的映射值,然后根据活动集中包含的WCDMA小区和映射值对应的小区,生成参考候选集;Before generating the reference candidate set, the RNC judges whether the measurement report of the cells in the inactive set is valid according to the reported reporting time of each recorded measurement report and the corresponding cell identity: if the measurement report is invalid due to cache time WCDMA cells contained in the set, generate a reference candidate set; if the measurement report is valid, obtain the measurement report of the non-active set of cells cached by the network, and calculate the mapping value of the signal quality of the cell according to the measurement report, and then according to the WCDMA cells contained in the active set Generate a reference candidate set for the cell corresponding to the mapping value;
步骤202:取参考候选集中所有WCDMA小区的GSM邻区的交集,根据交集中GSM小区的优先级,生成切换的目标GSM小区重试候选集;Step 202: Get the intersection of the GSM neighbors of all WCDMA cells in the reference candidate set, and generate a handover target GSM cell retry candidate set according to the priorities of the GSM cells in the intersection;
步骤203:依次向CN和UE返回目标GSM小区重试候选集中的小区,使UE到目标GSM小区重试候选集中的小区尝试进行切换。Step 203: return to the CN and UE in turn the cells in the target GSM cell retry candidate set, so that the UE tries to perform handover to the cells in the target GSM cell retry candidate set.
在图2中的步骤201生成参考候选集之前,如果网络端缓存的测量报告有效,计算小区信号质量的映射值的过程如图3所示,图3为图2所示的较佳实施例中计算小区信号质量映射值的流程图,该流程图进一步包括以下步骤:Before the reference candidate set is generated in step 201 in FIG. 2, if the measurement report buffered by the network side is valid, the process of calculating the mapping value of the cell signal quality is shown in FIG. 3, and FIG. 3 is the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 2 A flow chart for calculating the cell signal quality mapping value, the flow chart further includes the following steps:
步骤301:获取当前的系统时间,计算缓存的测量报告中每个小区测量值的缓存时间;Step 301: Obtain the current system time, and calculate the cache time of each cell measurement value in the cached measurement report;
步骤302:丢弃缓存时间大于最大有效时间的小区,最大有效时间为可配置参数,可以根据实际应用环境调整;Step 302: Discarding cells whose cache time is greater than the maximum valid time, the maximum valid time is a configurable parameter and can be adjusted according to the actual application environment;
步骤303:把小区测量值、缓存时间和线性因子代入公式“映射值=小区测量值-缓存时间(s)×线性因子(dB/s)”,计算出当前的小区信号质量的映射值;Step 303: substituting the cell measurement value, buffer time and linear factor into the formula "mapping value=cell measurement value-buffer time (s)×linear factor (dB/s)" to calculate the mapping value of the current cell signal quality;
其中,小区测量值是协议25.33 1规定的导频信道(CPICH)的信噪比(Ec/N0);线性因子是用于估算UE测量的信号强度随时间的衰减速度,单位为dB/s;线性因子的配置主要考虑小区所处环境的信号衰落特征和UE的移动速度,比如UE以100km/h的速度移动,在2秒内移动的距离约为55m,而在宏小区模型中50m的路径损耗为-1.92dB,即宏小区模型中400m和450m处的路径损耗差,由此线性因子可以近似取为1dB/s;宏小区模型是经校正的路径损耗模型;Among them, the cell measurement value is the signal-to-noise ratio (E c /N 0 ) of the pilot channel (CPICH) stipulated in the protocol 25.331; the linear factor is used to estimate the decay rate of the signal strength measured by the UE over time, and the unit is dB/ s; The configuration of the linear factor mainly considers the signal fading characteristics of the environment where the cell is located and the moving speed of the UE. For example, if the UE moves at a speed of 100km/h, the moving distance in 2 seconds is about 55m, while in the macro cell model 50m The path loss is -1.92dB, which is the path loss difference between 400m and 450m in the macro cell model, so the linear factor can be approximated as 1dB/s; the macro cell model is a corrected path loss model;
步骤304:丢弃映射值差于预先配置的“参考候选集门限”的小区;“参考候选集门限”为可配置参数,可以根据实际应用环境调整;Step 304: Discard the cells whose mapping value is worse than the pre-configured "reference candidate set threshold"; the "reference candidate set threshold" is a configurable parameter and can be adjusted according to the actual application environment;
步骤305:按映射值由大到小的顺序排序映射值对应的小区,其中第一个小区表示质量最好的小区。Step 305: Sort the cells corresponding to the mapping values in descending order of the mapping values, wherein the first cell represents the cell with the best quality.
图2中的步骤201生成参考候选集的过程如图4所示,图4为图2所示的较佳实施例中生成参考候选集的流程图,该流程图进一步包括以下步骤:Step 201 in Fig. 2 generates the process of reference candidate set as shown in Fig. 4, and Fig. 4 is the flow chart of generating reference candidate set in the preferred embodiment shown in Fig. 2, and this flow chart further comprises the following steps:
步骤401:选择活动集中的最优小区放入参考候选集;Step 401: Select the optimal cell in the active set and put it into the reference candidate set;
本实施例中针对图1所示的示意图,活动集中的最优小区为WCDMA-cell1,所以选择WCDMA-cell 1放入参考候选集;In the present embodiment, for the schematic diagram shown in Figure 1, the optimal cell in the active set is WCDMA-cell1, so WCDMA-cell 1 is selected to be put into the reference candidate set;
步骤402:选择活动集中的非最优小区放入参考候选集;本实施例中针对图1所示的示意图,选择WCDMA-cell 2放入参考候选集;Step 402: select the non-optimal cell in the active set and put it into the reference candidate set; in this embodiment, for the schematic diagram shown in Figure 1, select WCDMA-
步骤403~405:判断参考候选集中小区数目是否超过预先配置的“参考候选集大小”,若超过则取前“参考候选集大小”个小区作为最终的参考候选集,若没有超过则此参考候选集就是最终的参考候选集;“参考候选集大小”为可配置参数,通过该参数可以调整生成候选集的范围。Steps 403-405: Determine whether the number of cells in the reference candidate set exceeds the pre-configured "reference candidate set size", if so, take the first "reference candidate set size" cells as the final reference candidate set, if not, then the reference candidate set The set is the final reference candidate set; "Reference candidate set size" is a configurable parameter, through which the range of generated candidate sets can be adjusted.
如果网络端缓存的测量报告有效,计算出小区信号质量的映射值以后,还应在步骤403之前,选择与排序映射值对应的的小区,并按映射值由高到低顺序依次将与映射值对应的的小区放入参考候选集;If the measurement report buffered by the network side is valid, after calculating the mapping value of the cell signal quality, the cell corresponding to the sorting mapping value should be selected before
图2中步骤203生成切换的目标GSM小区重试候选集的过程如图5所示,图5为图2所示的较佳实施例中生成切换的目标GSM小区重试候选集的流程图,该流程图进一步包括以下步骤:Step 203 among Fig. 2 generates the process of the target GSM sub-district retry candidate set of switching as shown in Figure 5, and Fig. 5 is the flow chart of generating the target GSM sub-district retry candidate set of switching in the preferred embodiment shown in Figure 2, The flowchart further includes the following steps:
步骤501:选择参考候选集中所有WCDMA小区的GSM邻区的交集;Step 501: Select the intersection of the GSM neighbors of all WCDMA cells in the reference candidate set;
本实施例中针对图1所示的示意图,参考候选集中有WCDMA-cell 1和WCDMA-cell 2两个WCDMA小区;WCDMA-cell 1的GSM邻区为GSM-cell 1、2、3、6、7,WCDMA-cell 2的GSM邻区为GSM-cell 1、3、4、5、6,则WCDMA-cell1和WCDMA-cell 2的GSM邻区的交集为GSM-cell 1、3、6;In this embodiment, for the schematic diagram shown in Figure 1, there are two WCDMA sub-districts, WCDMA-cell 1 and WCDMA-
步骤502:根据GSM小区在活动集最优小区中的选择顺序,确定交集中GSM小区的选择顺序;Step 502: Determine the selection order of the GSM cells in the intersection according to the selection order of the GSM cells in the optimal cell in the active set;
依照前文所述,交集GSM-cell 1、3、6在WCDMA-cell 1中根据优先级的高低,其选择顺序为GSM-cell 6、1、3,在WCDMA-cell 2中根据优先级的高低,其选择顺序为GSM-cell 1、3、6;而交集中GSM小区的选择顺序应该根据交集中GSM小区在活动集最优小区中的选择顺序来确定,WCDMA-cell 1是活动集中的最优小区,所以交集中GSM-cell 1、3、6的选择顺序应该根据GSM-cell 1、3、6在WCDMA-cell 1中的选择顺序来确定:即GSM-cell 1、3、6的选择顺序为GSM-cell 6、1、3;According to the above, the intersection GSM-cell 1, 3, and 6 are selected according to the priority level in WCDMA-cell 1, and the selection order is GSM-cell 6, 1, 3, and in WCDMA-
步骤503:按选择顺序将交集中GSM小区放入目标GSM小区重试候选集;本实施例中针对图1所示的示意图,将GSM-cell 6、1、3依次放入目标GSM小区重试候选集;Step 503: put the GSM sub-district in the intersection into the target GSM sub-district retry candidate set according to the selection order; in this embodiment, for the schematic diagram shown in Figure 1, put GSM-cell 6, 1, 3 into the target GSM sub-district to retry in turn candidate set;
步骤504~506:判断目标GSM小区重试候选集中的小区数目是否超过预先配置的“GSM小区重试候选集大小”,若超过就取前“GSM小区重试候选集大小”个GSM小区作为最终切换的目标GSM小区重试候选集,若没有超过则此目标GSM小区重试候选集就是最终切换的目标GSM小区重试候选集;“GSM小区重试候选集大小”为可配置参数,通过该参数可以调整生成候选集的范围;Steps 504-506: Determine whether the number of cells in the target GSM cell retry candidate set exceeds the pre-configured "GSM cell retry candidate set size", and if so, take the first "GSM cell retry candidate set size" GSM cells as the final The target GSM cell retry candidate set for handover, if not exceeded, then the target GSM cell retry candidate set is the final handover target GSM cell retry candidate set; "GSM cell retry candidate set size" is a configurable parameter, through which Parameters can adjust the range of generated candidate sets;
本实施例中针对图1所示的示意图,假设最大切换目标小区集的个数为3,则交集GSM-cell 6、1、3组成的集合即为切换的目标GSM小区重试候选集。In the present embodiment, for the schematic diagram shown in Figure 1, assuming that the number of the maximum handover target cell set is 3, then the set formed by the intersection GSM-cell 6, 1, 3 is the retry candidate set of the handover target GSM cell.
本实施例中针对图1所示的示意图,生成切换的目标GSM小区重试候选集以后,按照目标GSM小区重试候选集中GSM-cell 6、1、3的选择顺序,首先选择GSM-cell 6作为切换的目标小区,通过信令向CN和UE返回GSM-cell6,使UE到GSM-cell 6尝试进行切换;如果在GSM-cell 6中切换失败,再通过信令向CN和UE返回GSM-cell 1作为切换的目标小区,使UE到GSM-cell 1尝试进行切换,依次类推,直到切换成功或全都失败为止。In this embodiment, for the schematic diagram shown in Figure 1, after generating the target GSM cell retry candidate set for handover, according to the selection order of GSM-cell 6, 1, and 3 in the target GSM cell retry candidate set, first select GSM-cell 6 As the handover target cell, return GSM-cell6 to CN and UE through signaling, so that UE can try to switch to GSM-cell 6; if the handover fails in GSM-cell 6, then return GSM-cell to CN and UE through signaling Cell 1 is the target cell for handover, so that the UE tries to handover to GSM-cell 1, and so on, until the handover succeeds or all fail.
本发明提供了一种从WCDMA到GSM的盲切换方法。当从WCDMA到GSM进行切换时,无需UE对GSM小区进行测量,大大地减小了切换过程中的时延;RNC根据活动集中包含的WCDMA小区生成参考候选集,取参考候选集中WCDMA小区的多个GSM邻区的交集,生成切换的目标GSM小区;本发明中的优先级属性,提高操作人员在实际网络中应用的灵活性和对算法的可控性;本发明充分利用现有的GSM网络资源,减少切换时延,从而减少切换不及时导致的掉话风险。The invention provides a blind switching method from WCDMA to GSM. When switching from WCDMA to GSM, there is no need for the UE to measure the GSM cells, which greatly reduces the delay in the switching process; the RNC generates a reference candidate set according to the WCDMA cells contained in the active set, and takes multiple WCDMA cells in the reference candidate set The intersection of two GSM neighboring cells generates the target GSM sub-district of handover; the priority attribute in the present invention improves the flexibility and the controllability of the operator's application in the actual network; the present invention makes full use of the existing GSM network resources and reduce handover delay, thereby reducing the risk of call drop caused by untimely handover.
