Background technology
Long Term Evolution (LTE) system allows operator to use new and frequency spectrum widely, and than 3G network, LTE has higher data rate, lower delay and smooth IP-based framework.Next generation wireless network is by in macrocell (macro) coverage, dispose flexibly and cheaply lower powered network node, such as Microcell (micro), picocell (pico) and relaying (relay) node come the hotspot location of macrocell or the place of network coverage disappearance are replenished.
Among the LTE, the detailed process of measuring under connected state is: network side will be measured control message and send to subscriber equipment (UserEquipment, UE), wherein, comprise in this measurement control message: other association attributeses of measuring sign (MID), measuring object (MO), report configuration (RC) and measuring.UE carries out and measures and assessment according to measuring measuring object, report configuration in the control message, and generates measurement report according to measurement result and report network side.The measurement report that network side reports according to UE carries out switch decision and Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (Inter-cell Interference Coordination, ICIC), and wherein ICIC only carries out for homogeneous-frequency adjacent-domain.Wherein, measure sign measuring object and report configuration association are got up to form a complete measurement task; Measuring object has comprised measuring object attribute (such as carrier frequency, Neighboring Cell List etc.), and each carrier frequency only can configure a measuring object; Report configuration comprised the report configuration attribute (such as Event triggered or periodic report, the event definition of triggering (A1, A2 ...), report number of times etc.).
For the measurement task of Event triggered, when being equal to or greater than triggered time TTT (Time To Trigger), the duration that measuring object satisfies the entry criteria (being better than thresholding such as neighboring cell signal quality) of event just is considered to satisfy the measuring object of trigger conditions.After having measuring object to satisfy the trigger condition of event, reporting measurement reports is to network side, and the measuring object in the measurement report that reports is that the measuring amount according to network settings sorts, optimum in front.For switch decision and Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (ICIC), when satisfy when leaving condition the residential quarter of satisfying the event entry criteria, also reporting measurement reports, network side carries out switch decision and Inter-Cell Interference Coordination according to this information, reportOnleave distinguishes this characteristic in the configuration by measuring, namely when reportOnleave be TRUE, UE need to the residential quarter satisfy leave condition in reporting measurement reports, just the measurement task of event A3 has this characteristic at present.
In the current agreement, for the measurement of Serving cell, UE is carrying out always.But the prerequisite of the same frequency of UE startup network side configuration, alien frequencies, isosystem measurement is: s-measure (value of the RSRP of an appointment) is configuration not; Perhaps configured s-measure simultaneously the RSRP of Serving cell through the filtration of layer three after (be called s-Serving) lower than s-measure, namely UE is not to be subjected to s-measure control to the measurement of Serving cell.The purpose of current configuration s-measure is the frequency of to measure and reporting in order to reduce.If configured s-measure, s-Serving is equal to or higher than s-measure always simultaneously, and UE does not start the measurement task of network side configuration so.Wherein, common frequency measurement refers to the measurement task that the carrier frequency of measuring object is identical with the descending carrier frequency of Serving cell, different-frequency measure refers to that the carrier frequency of measuring object is measurement task different from the descending carrier frequency of Serving cell in the LTE system, measure above-mentioned both belonging in the system, the carrier frequency that isosystem measurement refers to measuring object is UTRA, perhaps GERAN, perhaps the carrier frequency of CDMA2000 belongs between system and measures.
Cell searching method of measurement based on the Serving cell signal quality, generally be widely used in the homogeneous network, because in homogeneous network, each residential quarter can provide similar service quality, so when the Serving cell signal is enough good, there is no need to carry out the measurement of other residential quarters, can save thus the search of terminal and measure other residential quarters and cause additive decrementation to battery.And in heterogeneous network, can have difference between the service quality that each residential quarter provides, usually can provide the throughput of focus to strengthen such as the pico residential quarter, and the macro residential quarter is more suitable for providing the residential quarter to cover.So only according to the signal quality of Serving cell, cause the search meeting of pico residential quarter slower, thereby can't obtain preferably hotspot service of pico.
