Description

接入控制方法和设备

图 6为本发明接入控制设备一实施例的结构示意图;
图 7为本发明接入控制设备另一实施例的结构示意图;
图 8为本发明实施例提供的接入控制设备的实体结构示意图。 具体实施方式 在 HetNet中,使用微小区对宏小区进行数据分流可以缓解宏小区的流量 负荷。 一种可选的利用微小区进行数据分流的方案是, 当宏小区中的宏基站 负荷较大时, 宏基站可以将用于标识宏小区所服务至少一个 UE的特征信息 (例如上行探测(Sounding)参考信号的时频资源位置、随机接入信道(Random Access Channel , 简称: RACH) 的随机接入前导序列等) 发送给微小区的微 基站, 微基站据此识别到所述至少一个 UE并侦听这些 UE上行传输, 并获取 微基站对 UE上行信号的接收功率和 UE上行信号的发射功率。根据 UE上行信 号的接收功率与 UE上行信号的发射功率可以通过估计算法得到 UE与微小区 之间的上行路损。 由于此时 UE仍接入在宏小区, 还没接入到微小区中, 所以 将这种情况下获得的 UE与微小区之间的上行路损称为估计上行路损。将该估 计上行路损与微小区覆盖范围对应的路损限值进行比较 (该路损限值可以是 微基站对其覆盖范围内的各 UE的上行路损通过统计算法而得到), 就可以判 断得到该 UE是否在微小区的覆盖范围内 (例如, 若估计上行路损小于路损限 值则表明 UE在微小区的覆盖范围) , 进而决定是否将该 UE转移到微小区。
本发明实施例中,考虑到当 HetNet中的宏小区与微小区的工作频率不同 时, 上述的估计上行路损是宏小区的工作频率下的得到的路损值, 而上述路 损限值是微小区的工作频率下的路损值; 而不同的工作频率下, 路损值是有 差异的, 例如即使相同的信号传输距离, 当信号以 20赫兹 (Hz ) 和 50Hz的 频率传输时, 分别对应的该距离上的路损是不同的。 所以, 本发明实施例为 了在判断 UE是否在微小区的覆盖范围时,避免将路损值与不在同一工作频率 上的路损门限直接比较而造成判断结果不准确, 提出了一种接入控制方法。
本发明实施例的接入控制方法,适用于 UE从第一小区接入至第二小区的 过程。 其中, 第一小区和第二小区可以是分别属于不同接入设备的小区, 比 如第一接入设备(比如宏基站)服务的小区称为第一小区,第二接入设备(比 如微基站) 服务的小区称为第二小区, 且第一接入设备和第二接入设备的工 作频率可以是不同的; 第一小区和第二小区也为可以属于同一接入设备下的 小区, 这种情况下, 上述第一接入设备与第二接入设备为相同接入设备。
图 1示出了一种可选的适用场景, 图 1为本发明接入控制方法实施例的 应用场景图。该图 1所示的是异构网络 HetNet的一种典型应用场景。在某个 提供广覆盖的宏小区内存在多个提供热点覆盖的微小区, 微基站服务的小区 称为微小区。 其中的宏小区即为第一小区, 微小区即为第二小区。 在后续的 实施例描述中, 也以该图 1所示的场景为例进行说明。 虽然第一小区和第二 小区以图 1所示为例, 但是具体实施中并不局限于图 1所示的场景, 比如服 务第二小区的微基站还可以是无线局域网 (Wireless Local Area Networks , 简称: WLAN) 的接入点 (Access Point , 简称: AP ) 等。
如图 1所示, UE处于宏小区中, 是由宏基站为其提供服务; 当宏小区内 的流量较大, 宏基站的负担较重时, 如果该 UE在微小区的覆盖范围内, 宏基 站可以控制该 UE接入至微小区中, 例如宏基站控制 UE接入至微小区 2, 由 微小区 2分担宏小区内的流量。在该控制过程中, 需要判断 UE是否处于微小 区 2的覆盖范围, 如果判断结果为是, 指示 UE从宏小区接入至微小区 2。 但 是准确判断 UE是否处于微小区的覆盖范围内是 UE能否从宏小区接入至微小 区的前提。
实施例一
图 2为本发明接入控制方法一实施例的流程示意图, 如图 2所示, 该方 法可以包括:
201、获取第一 UE与第二接入设备之间的估计上行路损, 第一 UE为第一 接入设备所在的第一小区中的用户设备;
其中, 以图 1所示的场景为例, 第一小区是宏小区, 第二小区是微小区, 本实施例中, 第一小区由第一接入设备所服务, 该第一接入设备例如是宏小 区中的宏基站; 第二小区由第二接入设备所服务, 该第二接入设备例如是微 小区中的微基站; 所述的第一 UE就是图 1中所示的 UE。 在图 1中, 估计上 行路损, 是当 UE处于宏小区中由宏基站为 UE提供服务时, 估计的 UE与微基 站之间的路损。 例如, UE向宏基站进行上行传输时, UE上行传输的发射功率 由宏基站获取(例如宏基站估计或者 UE向宏基站上报; 其中, 宏基站估计所 述发射功率的方法例如是, 宏基站利用 UE发送的测量报告得到宏基站与 UE 之间的路损值, 并根据该路损值和上行传输的接收功率得到所述发射功率), 而微基站根据宏基站发送的用于识别该 UE的特征信息识别该 UE, 并侦听该 UE的上行传输获得对应的接收功率, 根据所述的接收功率和发射功率可以估 计出 UE与微基站之间的上行路损。 由于该 UE实际还处于宏小区的服务中, 所以是在宏小区的工作频率上的路损值, 称为估计上行路损。 需要说明的是, 执行本实施例方法的设备, 可以是宏基站、 也可以是微 基站, 或者还可以是宏基站和微基站之外的其他网络实体, 该其他网络实体 例如是集中控制节点。 例如, 如果是宏基站执行, 则本步骤中, 微基站将自 己检测到的所述接收功率传输至宏基站, 由宏基站根据所述接收功率和发射 功率得到估计上行路损; 如果是微基站执行, 则本步骤中是宏基站将发射功 率传输至微基站, 由微基站根据所述接收功率和发射功率得到估计上行路损; 如果是其他网络实体执行, 则本步骤中宏基站和微基站需要将各自得到的所 述接收功率或发射功率传输至该实体, 由该实体得到估计上行路损。
202、 若所述估计上行路损满足第二小区的接入条件, 则指示所述第一 UE接入至所述第二接入设备所在的第二小区;
其中, 所述的微基站所在微小区的覆盖范围对应的路损限值, 是根据该 路损限值限定了微小区的覆盖范围; 该路损限值指的是, 例如, 在微小区内 的各个 UE向微基站进行上行传输时, 通常都会有上行路损, 距离微基站较近 的 UE可能上行路损较小, 而在微小区的覆盖范围边缘的 UE可能上行路损较 大, 如果将该覆盖范围边缘的 UE的上行路损称为路损限值, 那么就是说如果 某个 UE到微基站的上行路损超过了该路损限值, 则表明该 UE实际已经不在 微小区的覆盖范围内, 将不适合由微基站为 UE服务。本实施例将估计上行路 损与所述路损限值比较, 即是在判断 UE是否在微小区的覆盖范围, 以据此决 定是否指示 UE接入至微小区来减轻宏小区的流量负荷。
所述第二小区的接入条件, 例如是 "估计上行路损〈微小区的覆盖范围对 应的路损限值" , 则将在 201中获得的估计上行路损与所述路损限值比较, 若估计上行路损小于路损限值, 表明满足接入条件, 即表明 UE在微小区的覆 盖范围内, 则指示所述 UE接入至所述微小区; 否则, 表明 UE不在微小区的 覆盖范围, 不指示 UE接入至微小区, 仍由宏小区为 UE服务。 UE从宏小区接 入至微小区的过程可以采用常规技术, 不再详述。
同理, 本步骤也可以是宏基站、 微基站或者其他网络实体执行 (例如, 集中控制节点) ; 如果是由宏基站或者其他网络实体执行时, 则微基站需要 将上述的微小区的覆盖范围对应的路损限值发送给所述宏基站或者其他网络 实体, 该路损限值是微基站可以通过统计算法得到的, 比如, 微基站可以根 据切换到微小区的至少一个 UE的路损根据现有的统计算法得到所述路损限 值。
203、在所述第一 UE接入至所述第二小区后, 获取所述第一 UE与所述第 二接入设备之间的实际上行路损;
其中, 如果本实施例的方法是由微基站执行, 则本步骤中的获取 UE与微 基站之间的实际上行路损, 可以是在 UE接入至微小区之后, 微基站接收 UE 发送的上行传输信号, 并获取所述上行传输信号的接收功率和发射功率, 根 据所述接收功率和发射功率得到所述实际上行路损。 例如, 所述的发射功率 的获取可以是, UE向微基站发送功率控制报告, 该功率控制报告中包含有本 次上行传输的发射功率, 微基站通过该功率控制报告获取所述发射功率。 如 果本实施例的方法是由宏基站或者其他网络实体执行, 则微基站在通过上述 方法获得实际上行路损后, 需要将该实际上行路损发送至所述宏基站或者其 他网络实体。
204、根据所述实际上行路损与所述估计上行路损, 对所述第二小区的接 入条件进行校正,校正后的接入条件用于控制第一小区中的第二 UE接入第二 小区。
其中, 如上所述的估计上行路损, 是在宏小区的工作频率下的路损值, 而所述的实际上行路损, 是 UE接入至微小区之后, 在微小区的工作频率下的 路损值, 因而宏小区频率下的得到的路损值与微小区频率下得到的路损值是 有差异的。正是这种不同频率导致的差值造成了对 UE是否在微小区覆盖范围 的判断不准确, 因此, 本实施例将根据所述差值, 对接入条件进行校正, 该 校正的目的是尽量消除不同频率导致的路损值差异, 使得接入条件尽量趋向 于同一频率下的路损值比较。
以接入条件是所述估计上行路损在所述第二小区的覆盖范围对应的路损 限值的范围内为例, 即 "估计上行路损 (PLes ) 〈微小区的覆盖范围对应的路 损限值 (THWUN ) " , 假设上述的实际上行路损与估计上行路损之间的差值是 校正值 J, 则表明在宏小区的工作频率下与微小区的工作频率下导致的路损 差异是 J, 为了将接入条件尽量趋向于同一频率下的路损值比较, 可以根据 该 对接入条件进行校正。 例如, 校正值 J是 5dB (即实际上行路损比估计上 行路损大 5 dB ) , 则上述接入条件校正为 "P +5〈 THWUN" (相当于对估计 上行路损进行校正, 可以认为 PLs+5反映了当 UE工作在微小区的频率下时, UE与微基站之间的上行路损) , 或者也可以校正为 "P 〈 THWLAN-5 " (相当 于对路损限值进行校正, 可以认为 THWUN_5反映了当 UE工作在宏小区的频率 下时, 微小区的覆盖范围对应的路损限值) , 实际这两种对接入条件的校正 方式是一致的。
经过上述校正, 随着不断有 UE接入到微小区中, 将逐渐减少不同工作频 率导致的路损差异, 因此, 该校正所采用的校正值 是可以根据实际上行路 损与估计上行路损之间的差值得到的, 而该差值就是由于不同工作频率导致 的; 所以, 采用校正值 对接入条件进行校正, 即为尽可能的将接入条件校 正为同一频率下的路损值比较, 使得判断结果更加准确, 避免造成 UE不在微 小区覆盖范围而判断为在, 或者 UE在微小区覆盖范围而判断为不在的情况, 保证 UE获得较好的信号质量。
需要说明的是, 上述实施例是以根据某个 UE的差值进行校正, 但具体实 施中, 校正值 J的获得所依据的样本值的数量可以是多个。 举例如下: 假设 宏小区内共有 5个 UE接入至微小区, 那么每个 UE在从宏小区接入至微小区 的过程中, 宏基站(以宏基站为执行设备为例)都可以得到该 UE对应的实际 上行路损、估计上行路损, 这里将每个 UE对应的所述实际上行路损和估计上 行路损称为一个样本值; 宏基站共得到了分别与 5个 UE对应的 5个样本值。 需要说明的是, 本实施例的样本值, 指的是接入成功的样本值, 即只有成功 接入至微小区的 UE, 获取其对应的实际上行路损和估计上行路损, 组成样本 值。
对于每个样本值, 宏基站都可以计算所述实际上行路损与所述估计上行 路损之间的差值,共得到与所述 5个样本值分别对应的差值,例如是 J 1、 Δ 2、 Δ 3、 Δ 4和 5。 宏基站根据这些差值, 可以利用统计方法处理, 得到校正值 Δ, 例如, zl = d 1+Δ 2^Δ 3+Δ 4+Δ 5) /5, 即校正值 zl可以是上述 5个差值的 平均值。 当然, 本实施例并不限制校正值 必须是平均值, 具体实施中也可 以采用其他统计处理方法得到 ,得到该校正值 的目的是通过利用该 J进行 校正尽可能的使得后续样本值的差值尽可能的小。
此外, 样本值的预设数量也是可以根据实际情况进行设定的, 比如可以 每隔 10个 UE进行一次校正,即每当有宏小区内的 10个 UE接入至微小区时, 将以这 10个 UE的样本值进行统计处理得到校正值 进行校正, 比如, UE1、 UE2、 UE3…… . . UE20这 20个 UE接入微小区, 可以是以 UE1至 UE10这 10个 样本进行一次校正, 以 UE11至 UE20这 10个样本进行一次校正。 或者, 也可 以按照时间间隔设定校正频率, 比如每隔 30分钟进行一次校正, 那么不论这 30分钟内有多少数量的 UE进行了接入, 宏基站也仅以时间为频率进行校正。 通过不断的进行校正, 可以不断的提高接入判断的准确度。
此外, 在对第二小区的接入条件进行校正后, 宏基站后续将根据校正后 的第二小区的接入条件,来判断宏小区中的第二 UE是否在微小区的覆盖范围 内, 进而据此决定是否指示第二 UE接入至微小区; 该第二 UE指的是, 例如 第一 UE之外的另一个 UE, 或者需要再次进入微小区的第一 UE等。
例如, 在对接入条件进行校正后, 宏基站可以获取第一接入设备所在的 第一小区中的第二 UE与第二接入设备之间的估计上行路损;若所述估计上行 路损满足所述校正后的接入条件,则指示所述第二 UE接入至所述第二接入设 备所在的第二小区。
本发明实施例以 UE在宏小区中, 由宏基站控制 UE接入微小区的情况为 例, 但本领域技术人员可以理解, 类似地, 在 UE接入到微小区中的情况, 微 基站也需要准确判断 UE是否在宏小区的覆盖范围内, 如果 UE在宏小区的覆 盖范围内, 则微基站可以控制 UE切换到宏小区中, 这种情况下的估计上行路 损为在微小区工作频率下得到的路损值。
本实施例的接入控制方法, 不仅可以用于第一接入设备与第二接入设备 具有相同工作的频率的场景下, 更进一步地, 通过获取 UE接入第二小区之前 的估计上行路损以及接入第二小区之后的实际上行路损, 并根据两者的差值 对接入条件进行校正, 能够尽可能的减小两者由不同工作频率造成的差异, 使得对于 UE是否在微小区覆盖范围的判断准确度更高,进而更加合理和准确 的控制用户设备的接入, 减少接入判断的失误, 提高 UE的信号质量。
如上所述的, 本发明实施例的接入控制方法, 其执行设备可以是宏基站、 微基站或者其他网络实体, 下面将分别描述不同的执行设备执行该接入控制 方法的流程:
实施例二
图 3为本发明接入控制方法另一实施例的信令示意图, 本实施例中, 第 一接入设备以宏基站为例, 第二接入设备以微基站为例, 本实施例是由宏基 站执行 UE的接入判断以及接入条件的校正。如图 3所示,可以包括如下步骤, 但需要说明的是, 本实施例并不限制各步骤的执行顺序:
301、 宏基站配置 UE的上行传输;
其中, 此时的 UE处于宏小区中, 由宏基站为其提供服务。 宏基站配置上 行传输的配置信息中, 包含能够标识 UE的特征信息 (例如, Sounding信号 的时频资源位置、 序列的循环移位等; RACH的时频资源位置、 随机接入前导 序列等) 。
302、 宏基站向微基站发送用于标识 UE的特征信息;
例如, 宏基站可以将上述的 Sounding信号的时频资源位置等特征信息, 发送至微基站, 以使得微基站能够据此识别 UE。
303、 UE根据配置信息向宏基站进行上行传输;
304、 宏基站获取 UE上行传输的发射功率;
例如, 该发射功率可以是 UE上报给宏基站的, 或者也可以是宏基站自己 估计得到的。
305、 微基站侦听 UE的上行传输获取 UE上行传输信号的接收功率; 其中, 微基站可以根据 302中接收的 UE的特征信息, 识别该 UE, 并侦 听 UE的此次上行传输, 检测微基站对该次传输的接收功率。如果微小区和宏 小区是异系统, 即是不同制式的网络, 使用的是不同的工作频率, 则可以在 微小区中增加一个与宏小区相同制式的上行接收机, 微基站通过该上行接收 机可以侦听 UE的上行传输。
306、 微基站将获取的接收功率发送给宏基站;
307、 宏基站获取宏小区中的 UE与微基站之间的估计上行路损, 并判断 UE是否在微小区的覆盖范围;
其中, 宏基站根据其自己获取的发射功率、 以及从微基站接收的接收功 率, 估计出 UE与微基站之间的上行路损, 称为估计上行路损。 并且, 宏基站 将该估计上行路损与微基站所在微小区的覆盖范围对应的路损限值进行比 较, 判断是否满足接入条件。 具体如何进行比较、 以及接入条件的设定可以 参见实施例一所述, 在此不再详述。
如果判断结果是满足接入条件, 则表明 UE在微小区的覆盖范围, 在执行 完 307之后接着执行 308; 否则, 表明 UE不在微小区的覆盖范围, UE需要继 续留在宏小区, 宏基站不执行 308, 本次流程结束。
308、 宏基站指示 UE接入至微小区;
309、 UE根据宏基站的指示, 接入到微基站;
310、 微基站获取所述 UE与所述微基站之间的实际上行路损;
其中, 在 UE接入至微小区之后, 由微基站为 UE服务, UE会向微基站进 行上行传输。 此时, 微基站接收所述 UE发送的上行传输信号, 并获取所述上 行传输信号的接收功率和发射功率,其中的发射功率例如可以是 UE上报至微 基站的。 微基站根据所获取的接收功率和发射功率, 得到实际上行路损, 例 如, 实际上行路损 =发射功率减去接收功率。
311、 微基站将实际上行路损发送给宏基站;
312、宏基站根据实际上行路损与估计上行路损之间的差值, 对接入条件 进行校正;
其中, 宏基站具体如何对接入条件进行校正可以参见实施例一; 例如, 宏基站可以等到存储预设数量的样本值之后再进行校正: 比如, 宏小区中的 某个 UE接入至微小区, 宏基站在此过程中获得了该 UE对应的样本值, 标记 为样本值 a, 该样本值 a包括该 UE对应的实际上行路损与估计上行路损, 但 是宏基站此时可以不立即进行差值计算等统计处理, 可以暂时存储该样本值 a。 等到宏小区内又有足够数量的 UE接入至了微小区, 宏基站存储的样本值 到达了预设数量时, 宏基站再开始进行校正处理; 比如, 计算每个样本值对 应的差值, 并进行统计处理得到校正值。
313、 宏基站根据校正后的接入条件控制 UE的接入。
其中, 宏基站在对接入条件进行校正后, 在后续的 UE接入判断中将根据 校正后的接入条件进行判断。 例如, 假设接入条件校正为 "P +5〈 THWL™" , 则假设又有一个 UE要进行接入判断,判断该 UE是否位于微小区的覆盖范围, 则对获得的该 UE对应的 P ^P THWLAN, 将按照上述 " P +5〈 THWLAN " 的条件进 行判断, 这样相对于校正前的条件, 由于已经减小了不同频率造成的路损差 异, 判断的结果也将更加准确。
实施例三

408、 微基站通知宏基站, UE不需要接入;
其中, 宏基站得到该通知后, 便得知 UE不在微小区的覆盖范围, 需要继 续留在宏小区, 则宏基站不需要再执行其他步骤。
需要说明的是, 本步骤中的通知所采用的方式可以灵活设置, 比如, 微 基站向宏基站返回的信息, 可以是表示 " UE不接入" 的信息 (例如, " 0 " 表示接入, " 1 "表示不接入, 微基站向宏基站发送 " 1 " ) ; 或者, 也可以 是表示 "UE不在微小区的覆盖范围"的信息(例如, " 00 "表示在覆盖范围, " 01 "表示不在覆盖范围, 微基站向宏基站发送 " 01 " ) , 宏基站根据该信 息可以确定不需要 UE接入。
409、 微基站通知宏基站指示 UE接入;
其中, 本步骤中的通知所采用的方式也是灵活多样的, 可以参见 408中 所述, 不再详述。
410、 宏基站指示 UE接入至微小区;
其中, 宏基站在接收到微基站的通知后, 将指示 UE接入至微小区。
