Description

RELATED APPLICATION INFORMATION

This application is a 371 of International Application PCT/CN2011/081929 filed 8 Nov. 2011 entitled “Method, Device, and System for Controlling UE to Take Measurements”, which was published on 23 Aug. 2012, with International Publication Number WO 2012/109923 A1, and which claims priority from CN Application No. 201110039960.5 filed 17 Feb. 2011, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates to the field of communications, and particularly, to a method, device and system for controlling user equipment to take measurements.

BACKGROUND

Ensuring service continuity of a mobile user is a basic function of a cellular mobile communication system, and handover of a serving cell of a mobile station is main means of ensuring the service continuity. In order to facilitate handover of UE (User Equipment), the system needs to configure neighboring relationship for each cell, so that the network side notifies the user equipment of neighbor cell information. The user equipment measures neighbor cells according to the neighbor cell information and then reports a measurement result. The network side then instructs the user equipment to hand over to a certain neighbor cell according to the reported measurement result.

Which neighbor cells are around a certain cell is not only related to a cell distance, but also closely related to a wireless environment where the cell is. Because the wireless environment is complicated, it is very difficult to determine exactly which neighbor cells should be configured for a certain cell at the beginning of network planning, especially in a city environment with dense high buildings. Some other situations will cause that the neighbor cell information is not updated in time, for example, one cell is newly added in the system or an attribute of a cell changes, but the neighboring relationship of the cell is not updated in time, or there is change of environment or omission of a network planner. Thus, the user equipment will not be able to hand over to another cell in time, and the following situations may occur: the load of the current cell will be too high, the signal quality of the current cell becomes worse, the interference is serious or user call drops may occur, and so on. Hence, an ANR (Automatic Neighboring Relationship Function) task is introduced in the 3GPP (3rd Generation partnership project) conference, but there is still no specific procedure about how to control UE to take and report measurements.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The disclosure is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments in detail. Note that, the embodiments of the disclosure and the features of the embodiments can be combined with each other if there is no conflict.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for controlling user equipment to take measurements according to an embodiment of the disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, a method for controlling user equipment to take measurements according to the embodiment of the disclosure includes:

Step S102: an RNC notifies UE to take ANR measurements and instructs the UE with an ANR measurement threshold and that a reporting mode to be used by the UE is event reporting; and

Step S104: the UE takes ANR measurements and reports the measurement result, wherein pre-set relationship is satisfied between the measurement result and the ANR measurement threshold.

The above-mentioned method gives out a feasible procedure to control UE to take measurements, which makes it clear that the UE takes ANR measurements under the control of the RNC and establishes a subject/object relationship. The RNC notifies the UE to use the event reporting mode to report the measurement result and the ANR measurement threshold when notifying the UE to take the ANR measurements, and the UE can complete the measurement and reporting according to the information. The entire method is simple and feasible, which fills up the blank in the related art.

Preferably, Step S102 may further include the following processing: the RNC sends a notification message to the UE for notifying the UE to take ANR measurements, wherein the notification message carries the ANR measurement threshold and an instruction that a measurement reporting mode is event reporting.

During specific implementation, the RNC can notify the UE to take ANR measurements in the form of sending a notification message, wherein the information required by the UE to take and report measurements can also be carried in this notification message.

Preferably, the modes that the RNC instructs the UE with the ANR measurement threshold and that the reporting mode to be used by the UE is event reporting may include one of the following:

(1) carrying, in the notification message, an information cell the value of which is event reporting and an information cell comprising the ANR measurement threshold;

(2) carrying, in the notification message, an information cell comprising the ANR measurement threshold.

The difference in the above-mentioned modes actually is mainly reflected in the difference in notification message compositions. In mode (1), the notification message carries two information cells, which are respectively used for instructing the UE to use the event reporting mode and providing an ANR measurement threshold to the UE so that the UE can judge which event to report. In mode (2), the notification message merely carries one information cell and does not carry the information cell the value of which is event reporting, and in the case that the RNC and the UE have arrived at an agreement on the reporting mode, the RNC merely needs to provide the ANR measurement threshold to the UE, so only one information cell is needed. Actually, the ANR measurement threshold is a judgment criteria of event reporting, which per se can represent that the RNC instructs the UE to use the event reporting mode.

Preferably, the above-mentioned notification message can also carry a physical quantity to be measured, which physical quantity can include at least one of the following: Common Pilot Channel Energy per chip Noise Ratio (referred to as CPICH Ec/N0 in short), Common Pilot Channel Received Signal Code Power (referred to as CPICH RSCP in short), Primary Common Control Physical Channel Received Signal Code Power (referred to as Primary CCPCH RSCP in short), Timeslot Interference on Signal Code Power Pathloss (referred to as Timeslot ISCP Pathloss in short).

The practice of carrying a physical quantity to be measured in the notification message can instruct the UE to measure which physical quantities in real time, so that the measurement is more targeted and more flexible in application, which can greatly improve the working efficiency. The physical quantities listed above reflect different states of a cell, and one or more of the physical quantities can be selected to be measured according to different situations during specific implementation. Of course, the physical quantities can also be expanded, and more physical quantities can be selected to be measured.

Preferably, Step S104 may further include the following processing:

(1) the UE measures the physical quantity to be measured carried in the notification message;

(2) when the above-mentioned pre-set relationship is satisfied, the UE sends an instruction message to the RNC, wherein the above-mentioned pre-set relationship includes: a pre-set size relationship which is satisfied between a physical quantity measured by the UE and the ANR measurement threshold;

(3) after receiving the instruction message, the RNC sends an ANR information request to the UE; and

(4) after receiving the ANR information request, the UE reports the measurement result by carrying the measurement result in a measurement report.

When the UE takes ANR measurements, it particularly includes: the UE measures a physical quantity to be measured carried in the ANR measurement notification message, and sends an instruction message to the RNC when a pre-set event reporting condition is satisfied, after receiving the instruction message, the RNC sends an ANR information request to the UE (which can also be sent by other devices at the network side), and after receiving the ANR information request sent from the network side, the UE sends a measurement report carrying the measurement result to the network side. Here, the pre-set event reporting condition can be that the physical quantity measured by the UE and the ANR measurement threshold satisfy a pre-set size relationship, i.e., the physical quantity measured by the UE is compared with the ANR measurement threshold, and if the pre-set size relationship is satisfied, it is deemed that the event reporting condition is satisfied. The particular size relationship, for example, greater or smaller or equal, may change according to different physical quantities. For example, the physical quantity measured by the UE is greater than or not smaller than the ANR measurement threshold, or, the physical quantity measured by the UE is smaller than or not greater than the ANR measurement threshold.

During specific implementation, the particular values of the measured physical quantities may also be added into the measurement report.

Preferably, the above-mentioned measurement report can be reported by being carried in an additional measurement report or an RRC message, wherein the above-mentioned RRC message can be one of the following: an INITIAL DIRECT TRANSFER message, a MEASUREMENT REPORT, an RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message, an UPLINK DIRECT TRANSFER message, and a CELL UPDATE message.

The above-mentioned Additional Measurement Report is a newly added message, which is defined as an additional measurement report and dedicated to reporting the measurement result. The UE may also use an existing RRC message to report the measurement result, and the actually available message includes but not limited to the RRC message listed above.

Preferably, after Step S104, the method may further include the following processing: the RNC makes handover decision and/or updates neighboring cell configuration according to the measurement result.

The measurement result obtained from the ANR measurements performed by the UE mainly has two functions: one is to be directly used as a basis for handover decision to be referenced by the RNC, and the other is to update the current neighboring cell configuration, so that the neighboring cell relationship keeps in the latest state all the time. Either of these two functions can be performed or both of them can be performed simultaneously.

Preferably, in the case that the RNC makes handover decision according to the measurement result, before the RNC makes handover decision according to the measurement result, the method may further include one of the following processing:

(1) the RNC counts the cell information in the measurement result, and if the number of times reporting the cell information about a certain cell reaches a first threshold, then confirms to take that cell as a target handover cell;

(2) the RNC sends the measurement result to a network administrator; the network administrator counts the cell information in the measurement result, and if the number of times reporting the cell information about a certain cell reaches a second threshold, then confirms to take that cell as a target handover cell.

The handover decision can be made by the RNC or by the network administrator. Regardless of being made by the RNC or the network administrator, the basic principles are the same, i.e., the cell information in the measurement result is counted, and when the number of times reporting the cell information about a certain cell reaches a certain number (a first threshold value or a second threshold value), this cell can be confirmed as a target handover cell.

Preferably, in the case that the RNC updates neighboring cell configuration according to the measurement result, before the RNC updates the neighboring cell configuration according to the measurement result, the method may further include one of the following processing:

(1) the RNC counts the cell information in the measurement result, and if the number of times reporting the cell information about a certain cell reaches a third threshold, then confirms to configure that cell as a neighboring cell, reports the neighboring cell to a network administrator, and updates the neighboring cell configuration;

(2) the RNC sends the measurement result to a network administrator; the network administrator counts the cell information in the measurement result, and if the number of times reporting the cell information about a certain cell reaches a fourth threshold, then confirms to configure that cell as a neighboring cell, and updates the neighboring cell configuration.

Likewise, when updating the neighboring cell configuration, it can be done by the RNC or by the network administrator, and the basic principles thereof are the same, i.e. the cell information in the measurement result is counted, and when the number of times reporting the cell information about a certain cell reaches a certain number (a third threshold value or a fourth threshold value), this cell can be configured as a neighboring cell and the neighboring cell configuration will be updated accordingly.

Preferably, the above-mentioned notification message includes one of the following: a system broadcast message, a measurement control message, and a customized message.

During specific implementation, the ANR measurement notification message may be sent in the form of a system broadcast message or a measurement control message, for example, a system information block 11 (SIB11), a system information block 11bis (SIB11bis), a system information block 12 (SIB12), a measurement control command (Measurement Control), and a customized logging message (Logging Message) can also be added newly to send the ANR measurement notification message.
