In this application.
技术领域 Technical field
本发明涉及通信技术领域, 尤其涉及一种 C-RNTI的分配方法及系统。 背景技术 The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a C-RNTI allocation method and system. Background technique
统计表明, 传统的 Macro e B ( Macro Evolved NodeB , 宏演进基站)单层覆盖网络已 经不能满足人们对数据业务速率和容量不断增长的需求。 因此, 3GPP ( 3rd Generation Partnership Project, 第三代合作项目 ) 引入了分层组网的方式来解决该问 题: 通过在热点区域、 家庭室内环境、 办公环境等小覆盖环境布设一些低功率的基站, 例 如: Local eNB (本地演进基站 ) (包括 He B eNB (家庭基站 ) /Pico eNB (微基站 ) /Relay (中继) 等), 获得小区分裂的效果, 使得运营商能够为用户提供更高数据速率、 更低成 本的业务。 Statistics show that the traditional Macro e B (Macro Evolved NodeB) single-layer overlay network has been unable to meet the growing demand for data service rates and capacity. Therefore, 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) introduces a layered networking approach to solve this problem: By deploying some low-power base stations in small coverage environments such as hotspots, home indoor environments, and office environments, For example: Local eNB (Local Evolved Base Station) (including He B eNB (Home Base Station) / Pico eNB (Micro Base Station) / Relay (Relay), etc., to obtain the effect of cell splitting, enabling operators to provide users with higher data Rate, lower cost business.
分层组网情况下为了增强移动性管理或者提高峰值速率, 用户设备可能聚合多个基站 的小区的资源, 每个基站下独立进行调度。 而调度是基于 C-RNTI ( Cell Radio Network Temporary Identity, 小区无线网络临时标识 )寻址的。 In the case of hierarchical networking, in order to enhance mobility management or increase the peak rate, the user equipment may aggregate resources of cells of multiple base stations, and each base station performs scheduling independently. The scheduling is based on C-RNTI (Cell Radio Network Temporary Identity).
LTE ( Long Term Evolution, 长期演进) 系统的网络架构如图 1所示, MME ( Mobile Management Entity , 移动管理实体) 与 eNB之间釆用 S 1 -C接口相连; eNB完成接入网功 能, 与 UE ( User Equipment, 用户设备)通过无线接口通信。 对于每一个附着到网络的 UE, 有一个 MME为其提供服务。 该 MME称为 UE的服务 MME。 The network architecture of the LTE (Long Term Evolution) system is shown in Figure 1. The MME (Mobile Management Entity) and the eNB are connected by an S 1 -C interface. The eNB completes the access network function, and The UE (User Equipment) communicates through the wireless interface. For each UE attached to the network, there is an MME serving it. This MME is called the serving MME of the UE.
包含 Local eNB和 Macro eNB的异构网络部署场景如图 2所示。其中 Macro eNB提供 宏覆盖, Local eNB在宏覆盖范围内提供热点覆盖。 The heterogeneous network deployment scenario including the Local eNB and the Macro eNB is shown in Figure 2. The Macro eNB provides macro coverage, and the Local eNB provides hotspot coverage within the macro coverage.
对于图 2所示的网络架构, 如果按照现有机制, UE在 Macro cell (宏小区)覆盖范围 内移动时, 可能不断执行 Macro cell与 Local cell (本地小区)之间的切换操作。 为了避免 频繁切换导致数据传输中断, 一种方式就是让 UE可以同时聚合 Local eNB和 Macro eNB 的资源, 但是 RRC ( Radio Resource Control, 无线资源控制 )连接维持在 Macro eNB下, Local资源仅用于数据传输, 即基站间聚合 (对于基站间聚合的情况, 如果 UE的不同承载 通过 UE聚合的不同基站传输, 那么也可以称基站间聚合为承载分离)。 For the network architecture shown in Figure 2, if the UE moves within the coverage of the Macro Cell according to the existing mechanism, the switching between the Macro cell and the Local cell may be continuously performed. In order to avoid interruption of data transmission caused by frequent handover, one way is to enable the UE to simultaneously aggregate the resources of the Local eNB and the Macro eNB, but the RRC (Radio Resource Control) connection is maintained under the Macro eNB, and the Local resource is only used for data. Transmission, that is, inter-base station aggregation (for the case of inter-base station aggregation, if different bearers of the UE are transmitted by different base stations aggregated by the UE, it may also be called aggregation between base stations as bearer separation).
但是, 对于 3GPP Release (版本) 11以及之前版本的 UE, UE仅能工作在一个基站下 并由该基站为其分配 C-RNTI。对于 R12以及之后版本的 UE, 可以同时聚合多个基站的资 源, 但在该情况下如何为 UE分配 C-RNTI还没有给出相应的解决方案。 发明内容 However, for 3GPP Release (version) 11 and previous versions of UE, the UE can only work under one base station. And the base station allocates a C-RNTI for it. For R12 and later versions of the UE, resources of multiple base stations can be aggregated at the same time, but how to allocate C-RNTI to the UE in this case has not given a corresponding solution. Summary of the invention

本发明实施例提供了一种 C-RNTI的分配方法及系统, 用以在 UE聚合多个基站的资 源的情况下, 给出为 UE分配 C-RNTI的解决方案。 The embodiment of the present invention provides a C-RNTI allocation method and system, and is used to provide a solution for allocating C-RNTI to a UE when the UE aggregates resources of multiple base stations.
基站间聚合有多种网络架构设计, 例如, 其中一种网络架构及其对应的用户面协议栈 和控制面协议栈分别如图 3、 图 4和图 5所示。 There are multiple network architecture designs for inter-base station aggregation, for example, one of the network architectures and their corresponding user plane protocol stacks. The control plane protocol stack is shown in Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 5, respectively.
无论釆用哪种基站间聚合架构, Local eNB和 Macro e B都有独立的 MAC ( Medium Access Control, 媒体接入控制 )实体, 分别对该节点承载的 RB ( Radio Bearer, 无线承载) 进行调度。 Regardless of the inter-base station aggregation architecture, the Local eNB and the Macro e B have independent MAC (Medium Access Control) entities, and respectively schedule the RBs (Radio Bearers) carried by the nodes.
调度分为上行调度和下行调度, 调度的资源通过 PDCCH ( Physical Downlink Control The scheduling is divided into uplink scheduling and downlink scheduling, and the scheduled resources pass the PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control).
Channel,物理层下行控制信道)发送给 UE。其中 PDCCH通过 UE在 C-RNTI加扰。 C-RNTI 可以在一个小区内唯一标识一个 UE,在 UE初始接入或者切换过程中由要接入的基站为其 分配 C-RNTI。 Channel, physical layer downlink control channel) is sent to the UE. The PDCCH is scrambled by the UE at the C-RNTI. The C-RNTI can uniquely identify a UE in a cell, and the C-RNTI is allocated by the base station to be accessed during the initial access or handover process of the UE.
参见图 6、 本发明实施例提供的一种 C-RNTI的分配方法, 包括: Referring to FIG. 6, a method for allocating a C-RNTI according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:
S101、 在 UE聚合多个基站的资源的情况下, 由其中的第一基站为 UE分配 C-RNTI; S101. When the UE aggregates resources of multiple base stations, the first base station allocates a C-RNTI to the UE.
S102、第一基站通过基站间接口将为 UE分配的 C-RNTI发送给参与聚合的第二基站。 较佳地, 第一基站为 UE聚合的任何一个基站或者维护 UE RRC连接的基站; 所述第二基站为 UE聚合的除第一基站之外的其它基站。 S102. The first base station sends the C-RNTI allocated to the UE to the second base station participating in the aggregation by using an inter-base station interface. Preferably, the first base station is any one of the base stations that the UE aggregates or the base station that maintains the UE RRC connection; and the second base station is another base station that is aggregated by the UE except the first base station.
较佳地, 该方法还包括: Preferably, the method further includes:
第二基站判断该第二基站下是否存在被碰撞 UE, 其中, 被碰撞 UE对应的 C-RNTI, 与第二基站接收到的第一基站为 UE分配的 C-RNTI相同; The second base station determines whether there is a collision UE in the second base station, where the C-RNTI corresponding to the victim UE is the same as the C-RNTI allocated by the second base station to the UE;
当存在被碰撞 UE时, 第二基站更换被碰撞 UE的 C-RNTI; 或者, 释放被碰撞 UE的 RRC连接; 或者, 拒绝第一基站发起的与该被碰撞 UE使用相同 C-RNTI的 UE的基站间 聚合请求。 When there is a collision UE, the second base station replaces the C-RNTI of the victim UE; or, releases the RRC connection of the victim UE; or rejects the UE initiated by the first base station and uses the same C-RNTI as the UE to be collided Inter-base station aggregation request.
较佳地, 当存在被碰撞 UE时, 第二基站更换被碰撞 UE的 C-RNTI, 包括: 第二基站通过对被碰撞 UE进行小区内或者小区间切换更换其 C-RNTI; 或者, 第二基站通过 RRC信令或者 MAC信令或者物理层信令更新被碰撞 UE的 C-RNTI, 或者, Preferably, when there is a collision UE, the second base station replaces the C-RNTI of the victim UE, including: the second base station replaces its C-RNTI by performing intra-cell or inter-cell handover on the victim UE; or, second The base station updates the C-RNTI of the victim UE by using RRC signaling or MAC signaling or physical layer signaling, or
若被碰撞 UE的无线承载 RB是通过承载分离过程分离到第二基站的, 则第二基站通 知为该被碰撞 UE分配 C-RNTI的基站更换为被碰撞 UE分配的 C-RNTI, 并向该基站指示 第二基站当前可用的 C-RNTI全集或者子集。 If the radio bearer RB of the victim UE is separated into the second base station by the bearer separation process, the second base station notifies the base station that allocates the C-RNTI for the victim UE to be replaced with the C-RNTI allocated by the collided UE, and The base station indicates a complete set or subset of C-RNTIs currently available to the second base station.
较佳地, 当存在被碰撞 UE时, 第二基站释放被碰撞 UE的 RRC连接, 包括: 第二基站直接发送 RRC连接释放消息通知 UE释放 RRC连接; 或者, Preferably, when there is a collision UE, the second base station releases the RRC connection of the victim UE, including: the second base station directly sends an RRC connection release message to notify the UE to release the RRC connection; or

也就是说, 本发明中, 当 UE 聚合多个基站的资源时, 由其中一个基站为其分配 C-RNTI, 然后通过基站间接口交互给其它参与聚合的基站。 对于参与聚合的基站, 如果该 C-RNTI和该基站服务的其它 UE (可以称为被碰撞 UE ) 的 C-RNTI冲突, 那么由该参与 聚合的基站负责解决 C-RNTI碰撞问题。 That is, in the present invention, when a UE aggregates resources of a plurality of base stations, it is allocated by one of the base stations. The C-RNTI then interacts with other base stations participating in the aggregation through the inter-base station interface. For the base station participating in the aggregation, if the C-RNTI and the other UEs served by the base station (which may be referred to as the victim UE) collide, the base station participating in the aggregation is responsible for solving the C-RNTI collision problem.

Step 2: The Macro eNB determines whether it is necessary to perform inter-base station aggregation or determine whether to enable bearer separation for the UE or a certain RB of the UE. If enabled, select an appropriate Local eNB that participates in inter-base station aggregation or bearer separation according to the measurement of the UE. The inter-base station aggregation request message or the bearer separation request message is sent through the inter-base station interface (the X2 port or the newly introduced inter-base station interface). The content of the C-RNTK DRB (Data Radio Bearer) configuration information of the UE is carried in the inter-base station aggregation request message or the bearer separation request message.
步骤三: Local eNB接收到基站间聚合请求消息或者承载分离请求消息, 判断是否有 C-RNTI冲突,如果基站间聚合请求消息或者承载分离请求消息中携带的 C-RNTI已经分配 给了 Local eNB 下某个 UE (被碰撞 UE ), 那么 Local eNB可以釆取如下任一方式解决 C-RNTI碰撞问题: Step 3: The local eNB receives the inter-base station aggregation request message or the bearer separation request message, and determines whether there is a C-RNTI collision. If the C-RNTI carried in the inter-base station aggregation request message or the bearer separation request message has been allocated to the local eNB, For a certain UE (being the UE), the Local eNB can solve the C-RNTI collision problem by any of the following methods:

Manner 2: Re-assign a new C-RNTL to the victim UE by using RRC signaling or MAC signaling or physical layer signaling.
方式三: 释放被碰撞 UE的 RRC连接。 Manner 3: Release the RRC connection of the victim UE.
对于方式三一般适用于被碰撞 UE的 RB优先级较低的情况。 The mode 3 is generally applicable to the case where the RB of the victim UE has a lower priority.
步骤四: Local eNB执行 RB接纳判决或者基站间聚合判决,判断是否可以接纳该分离 的承载或者是否允许基站间聚合。 如果可以, 那么向 Macro eNB发送承载分离响应消息或 者基站间聚合响应消息。 Step 4: The Local eNB performs an RB admission decision or an inter-base station aggregation decision to determine whether the separate bearer can be admitted or whether inter-base station aggregation is allowed. If so, a bearer separation response message or an inter-base station aggregation response message is sent to the Macro eNB.
步骤五: Macro eNB向 UE发送 RRC重配信令将 DRB重配到 Local e B。 Step 5: The Macro eNB sends RRC reconfiguration signaling to the UE to reconfigure the DRB to Local e B.
步骤六: Local eNB下使用 Macro eNB为其分配的 C-RNTI调度 UE在 Local eNB进行 数据传输。 Step 6: The Local eNB uses the C-RNTI allocated by the Macro eNB to schedule the UE to perform data transmission on the Local eNB.
需要说明的是: 步骤三的 C-RNTI冲突判断以及冲突解决和步骤四的 RB接纳判断可 以同时进行, 也可以选择任何一个步骤优先执行, 不需要严格规定先后顺序, 但需要保证 Local eNB在 C-RNTI竟争解决之前不能调度进行基站间聚合或者承载分离的 UE。 It should be noted that: the C-RNTI conflict determination and the conflict resolution in step 3 and the RB admission determination in step four can be performed simultaneously, or any one of the steps can be performed preferentially, and the sequence is not strictly specified, but the local eNB needs to be guaranteed in C. - RNTI strives to resolve UEs that cannot be scheduled to perform inter-base station aggregation or bearer separation.
实施例 2: Example 2:
步骤一: UE在 Macro eNB上建立 RRC连接, 由 Macro eNB为其分配 C-RNTI。 步骤二: Macro e B判断是否需要启用基站间聚合或者针对 UE或者该 UE的某个 RB 判断是否启用承载分离, 如果启用, 则根据 UE的测量选择合适的参与基站间聚合或承载 分离的 Local eNB , 通过基站间接口 ( X2口或者新引入的基站间接口)发送基站间聚合请 求消息或者承载分离请求消息。 基站间聚合请求消息或者承载分离请求中携带 UE 的 C-RNTK DRB相关配置信息等内容。 Step 1: The UE establishes an RRC connection on the Macro eNB, and the Macro eNB allocates a C-RNTI for it.

If the C-RNTI carried in the inter-base station aggregation request message or the bearer separation request message has been allocated to the local eNB, a certain UE (Crashed UE), the UE that is collided enables inter-base station aggregation or bearer separation, then the Local eNB needs to determine the Macro eNB serving as the victim UE, and notify the Macro eNB to acquire the collided UE through the inter-base station interface. Solve the C-RNTI collision problem in any of the following ways:
方式一: 通过切换, 更换被碰撞 UE的 C-RNTI, 该切换可以是小区内或小区间切换。 方式二: 通过 RRC信令或者 MAC信令或者物理层信令, 重新为被碰撞 UE分配新的 C-RNTL Manner 1: The C-RNTI of the victim UE is replaced by handover, and the handover may be intra-cell or inter-cell handover.

Assigned C-RNTI.
对于方式三一般适用于被碰撞 UE的 RB优先级较低的情况。 The mode 3 is generally applicable to the case where the RB of the victim UE has a lower priority.
步骤四: Local eNB执行基站间聚合判决或者 RB接纳判决,判断是否可以接受基站间 集合或者承载分离。 如果可以, 那么向 Macro发送基站间聚合响应消息或承载分离响应消 息。 Step 4: The Local eNB performs an inter-base station aggregation decision or an RB admission decision to determine whether the inter-base station aggregation or bearer separation can be accepted. If so, the inter-base station aggregate response message or bearer separation response message is sent to the Macro.
步骤五: Macro eNB向 UE发送 RRC重配信令将 DRB重配到 Local e B。 Step 5: The Macro eNB sends RRC reconfiguration signaling to the UE to reconfigure the DRB to Local e B.
步骤六: Local eNB下使用 Macro eNB为其分配的 C-RNTI调度 UE在 Local节点进行 数据传输。 Step 6: The Local eNB uses the Macro eNB to allocate the C-RNTI for its scheduling. The UE performs data transmission at the Local node.
需要说明的是: 步骤三的 C-RNTI冲突判断以及冲突解决和步骤四的 RB接纳判断可 以同时进行, 也可以选择任何一个步骤优先执行, 不需要严格规定先后顺序, 但需要保证 Local eNB在 C-RNTI竟争解决之前不能调度基站间聚合或者承载分离的 UE。 It should be noted that: the C-RNTI conflict determination and the conflict resolution in step 3 and the RB admission determination in step four can be performed simultaneously, or any one of the steps can be performed preferentially, and the sequence is not strictly specified, but the local eNB needs to be guaranteed in C. - RNTI strives to resolve UEs that cannot previously schedule inter-base station aggregation or bearer separation.
实施例 3: Example 3:
步骤一: UE在 Macro eNB上建立 RRC连接, 由 Macro eNB为其分配 C-RNTI。 步骤二: Macro eNB针对 UE的某个 RB判断是否启用承载分离, 如果启用, 则根据 Step 1: The UE establishes an RRC connection on the Macro eNB, and the Macro eNB allocates a C-RNTI. Step 2: The Macro eNB determines whether to enable bearer separation for a certain RB of the UE, and if enabled, according to
UE的测量选择合适的参与基站间聚合或承载分离的 Local eNB, 通过基站间接口 ( X2口 或者新引入的基站间接口)发送基站间聚合请求消息或者承载分离请求消息。 基站间聚合 请求消息或者承载分离请求消息中中携带 UE的 C-RNTI、 DRB相关配置信息等内容。 The measurement of the UE selects an appropriate local eNB that participates in inter-base station aggregation or bearer separation, and passes through the inter-base station interface (X2 port). Or the newly introduced inter-base station interface) sends an inter-base station aggregation request message or a bearer separation request message. The content of the C-RNTI, the DRB related configuration information, and the like of the UE in the inter-base station aggregation request message or the bearer separation request message.
步骤三: Local eNB接收到基站间聚合请求消息或者承载分离请求消息, 执行 C-RNTI 冲突判断, 如果基站间聚合请求消息或者承载分离请求消息中携带的 C-RNTI 已经分配给 了 Local eNB下某个 UE (被碰撞 UE ), 那么 Local eNB可以拒绝接纳该被分离的 载。 当 然在 C-RNTI冲突判断之前也可以先执行接纳判决, 如果接纳判决不通过, 那么就没必要 再执行 C-RNTI冲突判断步骤了。 Step 3: The local eNB receives the inter-base station aggregation request message or the bearer separation request message, and performs the C-RNTI conflict determination. If the C-RNTI carried in the inter-base station aggregation request message or the bearer separation request message has been allocated to the local eNB, UEs (being the UE), then the Local eNB may refuse to accept the separated payload. The admission decision can also be performed before the C-RNTI collision is judged. If the admission decision is not passed, then there is no need to perform the C-RNTI conflict determination step.
步骤四: Local eNB向 Macro eNB发送承载分离拒绝消息, 可选的, 可以携带拒绝原 因, 比如 C-RNTI冲突指示, 进一步还可以向 Macro指示一个或者多个可用的 C-RNTI。 Step 4: The local eNB sends a bearer separation reject message to the Macro eNB. Optionally, the eNB may carry a reject reason, such as a C-RNTI conflict indication, and further indicate one or more available C-RNTIs to the Macro.
步骤五: Macro eNB收到承载分离拒绝消息, 如果其中含有 C-RNTI分配冲突, 那么 可以变更 UE的 C-RNTI, 变更方式可以是小区内切换或者通过 RRC信令或 MAC信令重 配 C-RNTI, 变更后再根据需求判断是否重新发起承载分离请求。 当然如果承载分离拒绝 消息中携带 Local可用的 CRNTI指示,那么 Macro可以从中选择一个不冲突的 C-RNTI使 用。 Step 5: The macro eNB receives the bearer separation reject message. If the C-RNTI allocation conflict is included, the C-RNTI of the UE may be changed. The change mode may be intra-cell handover or reconfiguration with C-RRC through RRC signaling or MAC signaling. After the change, the RNTI determines whether to re-initiate the bearer separation request according to the requirements. Of course, if the bearer separation reject message carries the CRNTI indication available to the Local, the Macro can select a non-conflicting C-RNTI to use.
实施例 4: Example 4:
步骤一: UE在 Macro eNB上建立 RRC连接, 由 Macro eNB为其分配 C-RNTI。 Step 1: The UE establishes an RRC connection on the Macro eNB, and the Macro eNB allocates a C-RNTI.

If enabled, the local eNB that participates in the inter-base station aggregation or bearer separation is selected according to the measurement of the UE, and the inter-base station interface (X2 port or newly introduced The inter-base station interface sends an inter-base station aggregation request message or a bearer separation request message. The inter-base station aggregation request message or the bearer separation request message carries related configuration information such as a DRB to be separated by the UE. Optionally, a C-RNTI or a set of multiple C-RNTIs available under the Macro eNB may also be carried.
步骤三: Local eNB接收到基站间聚合请求消息或者承载分离请求消息, 根据自身的 C-RNTI分配情况, 确定为承载分离 UE分配的 C-RNTI。 当然如果基站间聚合请求消息或 者 Macro eNB在承载分离请求消息中携带了 C-RNTI指示信息, 那么确定 C-RNTI分配时 可以参考该信息。 Step 3: The local eNB receives the inter-base station aggregation request message or the bearer separation request message, and determines the C-RNTI allocated to the bearer separated UE according to the C-RNTI allocation status of the local eNB. Of course, if the inter-base station aggregation request message or the Macro eNB carries the C-RNTI indication information in the bearer separation request message, the information can be referred to when determining the C-RNTI allocation.
步骤四: Local eNB执行接纳判决或者基站间聚合判决, 如果可以接纳, 那么向 Macro eNB发送基站间聚合响应消息或者承载分离响应消息。 Step 4: The Local eNB performs an admission decision or an inter-base station aggregation decision. If it can be accepted, the inter-base station aggregation response message or the bearer separation response message is sent to the Macro eNB.
步骤五: Macro eNB接收到承载响应消息后提取 Local eNB为 UE分配的 C-RNTI, 判 断是否和其服务的某个 UE (被碰撞 UE )的 C-RNTI冲突, 如果冲突, 那么 Macro eNB可 以釆取如下任一方式解决 C-RNTI碰撞问题: Step 5: After receiving the bearer response message, the Macro eNB extracts the C-RNTI allocated by the Local eNB to the UE, and determines whether it conflicts with the C-RNTI of a certain UE (the collision UE) it serves. If the collision occurs, the Macro eNB may 釆Solve the C-RNTI collision problem in any of the following ways:
方式一: 通过切换, 更换被碰撞 UE的 C-RNTI , 该切换可以是小区内或小区间切换。 方式二: 通过 RRC信令或者 MAC信令, 重新为被碰撞 UE分配新的 C-RNTI。 Manner 1: The C-RNTI of the victim UE is replaced by handover, and the handover may be intra-cell or inter-cell handover. Manner 2: Re-assign a new C-RNTI to the victim UE by using RRC signaling or MAC signaling.
方式三: 释放被碰撞 UE的 RRC连接。 Manner 3: Release the RRC connection of the victim UE.
对于方式三一般适用于被碰撞 UE的 RB优先级较低的情况。 The mode 3 is generally applicable to the case where the RB of the victim UE has a lower priority.
步骤六: Macro eNB向 UE发送 RRC重配信令将 DRB重配到 Local eNB ,其中携带重 新为被碰撞 UE分配的 C-RNTI。 Step 6: The Macro eNB sends the RRC reconfiguration signaling to the UE to reconfigure the DRB to the Local eNB, where the C-RNTI that is re-assigned to the victim UE is carried.
步骤七: Local eNB下使用 Local eNB为其分配的 C-RNTI调度 UE在 Local节点进行 数据传输。 Step 7: The Local eNB uses the Local eNB to allocate the C-RNTI for its scheduling. The UE performs data transmission at the Local node.
需要说明的是: 步骤三的 C-RNTI分配和步骤三的 RB接纳判断可以同时进行, 也可 以选择任何一个步骤优先执行, 不需要严格规定先后顺序, 但需要保证 Macro eNB在调度 该 UE之前被碰撞 UE已经释放或者获得了新的 C-RNTI。 It should be noted that: the C-RNTI allocation in step 3 and the RB admission determination in step 3 may be performed simultaneously, or any one of the steps may be performed preferentially, and the sequence is not strictly specified, but the Macro eNB needs to be guaranteed before scheduling the UE. The collision UE has released or obtained a new C-RNTI.
实施例 5 : Example 5:
步骤一: UE在 Macro eNB上建立 RRC连接, 由 Macro eNB为其分配 C-RNTI。 步骤二: Macro eNB判断是否需要进行基站间聚合或者针对 UE的某个 RB判断是否 启用承载分离, 如果启用, 则根据 UE 的测量选择合适的参与基站间聚合或承载分离的 Local eNB , 通过基站间接口 ( X2口或者新引入的基站间接口)发送基站间聚合请求消息 或者承载分离请求消息。 基站间聚合请求消息或者承载分离请求消息中携带 UE要分离的 Step 1: The UE establishes an RRC connection on the Macro eNB, and the Macro eNB allocates a C-RNTI. Step 2: The Macro eNB determines whether it is necessary to perform inter-base station aggregation or determine whether to enable bearer separation for a certain RB of the UE. If enabled, select an appropriate local eNB that participates in inter-base station aggregation or bearer separation according to the measurement of the UE, and The interface (the X2 port or the newly introduced inter-base station interface) sends an inter-base station aggregation request message or a bearer separation request message. The inter-base station aggregation request message or the bearer separation request message carries the UE to be separated.
DRB等相关配置信息。 可选的, 还可以携带 Macro eNB下可用的一个 C-RNTI或者多个Related configuration information such as DRB. Optionally, one C-RNTI or multiple available under the Macro eNB may also be carried.
C-RNTI的集合。 A collection of C-RNTIs.
步骤三: Local eNB接收到基站间聚合请求消息或者承载分离请求消息, 根据自身的 C-RNTI分配情况, 确定为承载分离 UE分配的 C-RNTI。 当然如果基站间聚合请求消息或 者 Macro eNB在承载分离请求消息中携带了 C-RNTI指示信息(即携带 Macro eNB下可用 的一个 C-RNTI或者多个 C-RNTI的集合), 那么确定 C-RNTI分配时可以参考该信息, 即 可以从 Macro eNB下可用的一个 C-RNTI或者多个 C-RNTI的集合中选择 C-RNTI进行分 酉己。 Step 3: The local eNB receives the inter-base station aggregation request message or the bearer separation request message, and determines the C-RNTI allocated to the bearer separated UE according to the C-RNTI allocation status of the local eNB. Of course, if the inter-base station aggregation request message or the Macro eNB carries the C-RNTI indication information in the bearer separation request message (that is, carries a C-RNTI or a set of multiple C-RNTIs available under the Macro eNB), then the C-RNTI is determined. The information may be referred to in the allocation, that is, the C-RNTI may be selected from a set of C-RNTIs or a plurality of C-RNTIs available under the Macro eNB for branching.
步骤四: Local eNB执行接纳判决或者基站间聚合判决, 如果可以接纳, 那么向 Macro eNB反馈 RB承载分离响应消息以及新分配的 C-RNTI , 或者反馈基站间聚合响应消息以 及新分配的 C-RNTI。 Step 4: The Local eNB performs an admission decision or an inter-base station aggregation decision. If it is acceptable, the RB bearer separation response message and the newly allocated C-RNTI are fed back to the Macro eNB, or the inter-base station aggregation response message and the newly allocated C-RNTI are fed back. .
步骤五: Macro eNB接收到承载响应消息后提取 Local eNB为 UE分配的 C-RNTI, 判 断是否和其服务的某个 UE (被碰撞 UE )冲突, 如果冲突, 那么判断承载分离失败。 可选 的, 还可以通知 Local结束承载分离。 Step 5: After receiving the bearer response message, the Macro eNB extracts the C-RNTI allocated by the Local eNB to the UE, and determines whether it conflicts with a certain UE (the collided UE) it serves. If the collision occurs, it determines that the bearer separation fails. Optionally, you can also notify Local to end the bearer separation.
步骤六: 可选的, Macro eNB还可以通过小区内切换或者重配等操作为 UE重新分配 C-RNTI, 并再次尝试 RB分离。 Step 6: Optionally, the Macro eNB may also re-allocate the UE by using intra-cell handover or reconfiguration. C-RNTI, and try RB separation again.

综上, 本发明当 UE聚合多个基站的资源时, 由其中一个基站为其分配 C-RNTI, 然后 通过基站间接口交互给其它参与聚合的基站。 对于参与聚合的基站, 如果该 C-RNTI和该 基站服务的其它 UE (被碰撞 UE ) 的 C-RNTI冲突, 那么由该基站负责解决 C-RNTI碰撞 问题。 因此, 本发明给出了一种当 UE聚合多个基站资源时基于竟争的 C-RNTI方式, 解 决了 UE聚合多个基站资源时如何分配 C-RNTI的问题。 In summary, when the UE aggregates resources of multiple base stations, one of the base stations allocates a C-RNTI to it, and then interacts with other base stations participating in the aggregation through the inter-base station interface. For the base station participating in the aggregation, if the C-RNTI and the C-RNTI of other UEs served by the base station (the collision UE) collide, the base station is responsible for solving the C-RNTI collision problem. Therefore, the present invention provides a C-RNTI method based on contention when the UE aggregates multiple base station resources, and solves the problem of how to allocate C-RNTI when the UE aggregates multiple base station resources.
