Description

 Resident control method and device thereof, communication system

 The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a resident control method, a device thereof, and a communication system. Background technique

 In the future mobile communication, in order to ensure coverage and reasonable adjustment of service requirements and equipment costs, the macro cell

Heterogeneous Deployment (Macro Cell) and small cell (Small Cell) coexist will become one of the main deployment scenarios of mobile communication systems. The macro cell is responsible for the coverage of the user equipment, and the small area is responsible for data offloading of the user equipment. Typical small cells include Micro Cells, Pico Cells, and Femto Cells. Compared with small cells, the macro cell base station has a relatively large transmit power. Correspondingly, the Power Amplifier (PA) and Radio Frequency (F) units of the macro cell base station also consume a lot of power. Therefore, some air conditioners need to be configured to maintain the normal operation of the base station equipment. The energy efficiency (EE) of the macro cell base station is significantly lower than that of the small cell. Small cells have obvious advantages in terms of energy saving and flexible deployment.

 Generally, the number of users served by each macro cell is large. Therefore, the total number of users and the total uplink and downlink services of the entire cell tend to be stable. The coverage area of the small cell is small, and the number of users simultaneously served by each small cell is much smaller than the number of users of the macro cell. In addition, since the coverage area is small, even if the user of the small cell service moves at a slower speed, the time that the user in the mobile state stays in a small cell may be shorter. For example, assuming that the small cell has a diameter of 50 m and the user's moving speed is 3 km/h, the duration of the user's coverage in the cell coverage is only 60 seconds. Therefore, the dynamic change of users in a small cell (the user joins a small cell or leaves a small cell) is also very fast. In addition, because the number of users serving in a small cell is small, any user starting a new service or ending an existing service may change the uplink and downlink data requirements of the entire small cell.

This relatively fast dynamic transformation of small cells may result in an uneven distribution of the number of users and data requirements among the small cells. For example, when a small cell is running at full load, adjacent small cells may be in a low load or even idle state. In order to save energy and reduce inter-cell interference when small cells are densely distributed, a method of dynamically switching small cells is introduced. This method of dynamically switching small cells is based on a mechanism in which a cell is quickly turned on or off. When there is no user (User Equipment, UE) or a small cell in a small cell, The small cell and its surrounding small cells are in a low load condition, and then the current user served by the small cell may be considered to be handed over to the adjacent small cell, and then the small cell is turned off. When a new user arrives in a closed small cell, or a new data packet of an existing user within its coverage arrives, or other events that meet the small cell open condition occur, the small cell Will be opened to serve new users or to offload large packet transfers.

 It should be noted that the above description of the technical background is only for the purpose of facilitating the clear and complete description of the technical solutions of the present invention, and is convenient for understanding by those skilled in the art. The above technical solutions are not considered to be well known to those skilled in the art simply because these solutions are set forth in the background section of the present invention. Summary of the invention

 For a user served by a small cell of a dynamic switch, that is, the user is in a connected state (R C_CO NECTED state) in the small cell, the effect of such dynamic switching of the small cell is controllable. Because the user remains connected to the small cell, the small cell can switch the user to the neighboring cell before shutting down.

 However, for a user camping on a small cell of a dynamic switch, that is, the user is in an idle state (RRC_IDLE state) in the small cell, the impact of the dynamic switch of the small cell may be uncontrollable. . Because when a user is in an idle state, the user only keeps timing synchronization with the downlink signal of the cell, and regularly monitors the downlink signal quality of the cell and monitors the broadcast information and paging information of the cell. In this case, the cell does not even know how many UEs in the RRC_IDLE state are in its coverage. The cell can only try to make the IDLE state UE change its camped cell relatively smoothly through Cell eselection as much as possible, and has no ability to ensure that each IDLE state UE starts the reselection process in time.

The embodiment of the present invention can be applied to the scenario of the dynamic switch in the foregoing small cell system, and can also be applied to the scenario where the other cells are densely deployed. This embodiment is not limited thereto. These embodiments are merely exemplary and are not limiting of the invention.

 In this embodiment, the dynamic switch of the cell refers to the cell being turned on or off according to a predetermined rule; or when the condition of the cell being opened or closed is met, the cell is turned on or off. For example, when there is no UE in the certain cell or a certain cell and the cells around it are in a low load condition, it may be considered to switch the current user served by the cell to the adjacent cell, and then The cell is closed.

 Example 1

 Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a resident control method, which is applied to a base station side, and FIG. 1 is a flowchart of the method. Referring to FIG. 1, the method includes:

 Step 101: The base station to which the cell belongs is notified by the user-specific signaling to the user equipment of the cell about the dynamic switch of the cell, to assist the user equipment to camp in a suitable cell.

In this embodiment, the base station notifies the user equipment of the cell of the information about the dynamic switch of the cell by user-specific signaling (UE-specific), so that the user equipment can be related to the dynamic switch of the cell. The information resides in a suitable cell so that it can respond to the user's business needs in a timely manner.

 In this embodiment, the user-specific signaling may be Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, and the information related to the cell dynamic switch may be included in carrying user-specific information elements (IE) through user-specific signaling. It can also be included in a common information element carried by user-specific signaling.

 In this embodiment, the RRC signaling may be an RRC Connection Release (RRCConnectionRelease) signaling. For example, for a user equipment (UE) that is in an RRC connection (RRC_CONNECTED) with the current cell, when the base station of the cell sends an RRCConnectionRelease signaling to the UE, indicating that the UE disconnects the RRC connection with the cell, the slave connection (R C_CO NECTED) When the state transitions to the idle (R C_IDLE) state, the base station of the cell may carry the information related to the dynamic switch of the cell in the RRCConnectionRelease signaling, so that the user equipment resides in a suitable cell.

 In this embodiment, the suitable cell refers to the best or better condition that can allow the user equipment to camp and according to the cell selection and/or reselection conditions in the cell selection and/or reselection process of the user equipment. Community. A suitable cell may be the own cell or another cell.

 In an embodiment of this embodiment, the information related to the cell dynamic switch may include information indicating that the camp is prohibited from camping on the cell.

 In this embodiment, when the cell needs to switch from the continuously open state to the dynamic switch state or the state to be switched to the dynamic switch, or when the cell needs to be closed, the base station to which the cell belongs is notified to the cell by user-specific signaling. The user equipment prohibits the information residing in the cell, that is, when the cell needs to switch from the continuously open state to the dynamic switch state or the state to be switched to the dynamic switch, or when the cell needs to be closed, the base station indicates that the user equipment prohibits the resident. In the cell.

 For example, when a user equipment is about to release the connection state RRC_CO NECTED, that is, the user equipment is about to comply with the indication of the base station to change from the RRC_CO NECTED state to the idle state (RRC_IDLE) state, the base station may indicate that the user equipment cannot directly directly through the RRCConnectionRelease signaling. Residing in the current cell. In this way, the idle user can be effectively prevented from staying in the cell of the dynamic switch, and the waiting time before the user equipment enters the RACC_CO NECTED state when the data arrives or needs to be initiated after the user equipment is converted into the idle state can be effectively reduced. Should be the business needs of the user equipment.

In another embodiment of the present embodiment, the information related to the dynamic switch of the cell includes information indicating a dynamic switching rule of the base station, where the dynamic switching rule of the base station indicates a switch state of the base station on a period of the dynamic switch of the base station. Information. In this embodiment, the information about the dynamic switching rule of the base station may be represented by a bitmap, and the length of the bitmap indicates a period of dynamic switching of the base station, and each bit of the bitmap represents a subframe or a frame. The frame may be a radio frame. For example, in the LTE standard, a radio frame has a duration of 10 ms, and each radio frame is composed of 10 subframes, and each subframe is 1 ms. For example, when the bit is 0, it indicates that the base station is in the off state on the subframe or frame corresponding to the bit; when the bit is 1, it indicates that the base station is on the subframe or frame corresponding to the bit ( On) Status. For example, the information of the dynamic switching rule of the base station can be expressed as "1111000000" in the manner of a Bitmap. The length of the bitmap is 10 bits, that is, the length of the period of the dynamic switch of the base station is 10 subframes, the above information indicating the dynamic switching rule of the base station of "1111000000" represents that the cells of the first 4 subframes are opened before each cycle, and the cells of the last 6 subframes are closed.

 In this embodiment, the dynamic switching rule information of the base station may also be represented by the period of the switch and the duration of the base station being turned on or off. In this case, the base station is only turned on and off once in each cycle, the base station The unit of the period of the switch and the duration of the base station on or off may be a subframe or a frame.

 As can be seen from the above, the base station notifies the user equipment of the information related to the dynamic switch of the cell, so that the user equipment can know the dynamic switch rule of the base station in advance to assist the user equipment that is capable of camping in the dynamic switch cell to change from the connected state to the connected state. The idle state may reside in the cell to avoid unnecessary cell selection and/or reselection, and may also receive signals transmitted by the base station in a subframe or frame in which the base station is in an open state.

 It can be seen from the foregoing embodiment that the base station notifies the user equipment of the information related to the dynamic switch of the cell, so as to assist the user equipment to reside in a suitable cell, so as to be able to respond to the service requirement of the user in time. Example 2

 Step 202: The user equipment performs cell selection and/or reselection when transitioning from the connected state to the idle state, and does not use the cell as a candidate cell in the cell selection and/or reselection process.

 The user equipment may start cell reselection according to the user-specific cell selection and/or reselection information delivered by the public cell selection and/or reselection information or the dedicated information in the system broadcast information, but does not use the cell. As a candidate cell in the cell selection and/or reselection process.

 For example, if the frequency point of the cell is the first preferred camping frequency point, the UE selects other cells of the frequency point to camp; or if the radio access type is in the system information or user-specific information (Radio Access Type The RAT is indicated by the RAT as the other frequency point, and the user will preferentially look for the cell that can camp at the indicated frequency point.

If the user does not have the ability to camp on a dynamically switched cell, or if the cell is dynamically switched in an unpredictable manner (eg, the cell's switch is triggered by the user's arrival or departure), then the user device may be at the user When the device transitions from the connected state to the idle state, the cell selection and/or reselection process of the user equipment is triggered to prevent the user equipment from camping on the current cell and selecting a cell that can camp as soon as possible, thereby effectively reducing the conversion of the user equipment. Convert to RRC CONNECTED when there is data arriving in the idle state or when a service needs to be initiated. The waiting time before the status, so that it can respond to the user's business needs in time.

 It can be seen from the foregoing embodiment that when the cell needs to switch from the continuously open state to the dynamic switch state or the state to be switched to the dynamic switch, or when the cell needs to be closed, the base station to which the user equipment belongs is received by the user equipment. After the signaling is prohibited from camping on the information of the cell, when the connection state is changed to the idle state, the user equipment can select a suitable camping cell, and effectively reduce the data of the user equipment after being converted into an idle state. The waiting time before the R CC_CO NECTED state is reached when the service is initiated or needs to be initiated, and the service demand of the user equipment is responded to in time.

 Step 302: When the user equipment is switched from the connected state to the idle state, the user equipment receives the base station signal in a subframe or a frame in which the base station is in an open state.

 With the above embodiment, unnecessary cell selection and/or reselection can be avoided, and the number of selection and/or reselection times can be reduced.

 With the control method of the embodiment, the user equipment may receive the information about the dynamic switch of the cell that is notified by the base station, so that the user equipment resides in the appropriate cell according to the information related to the dynamic switch of the cell, and the user equipment is avoided. Stay in the current cell and select the cell that can camp as soon as possible, effectively reducing the waiting time before the user transitions to the RRC_CO NECTED state when data arrives or needs to initiate a service after transitioning to the idle state, and can avoid unnecessary cells. Select and/or reselect to reduce the number of selections and/or reselections. Example 3
