本发明涉及通信领域，特别涉及一种小区测量方法、装置和通信系统。The present invention relates to the field of communication, and in particular, to a cell measurement method, device and communication system.
背景技术Background technique
在未来移动通信中，为了保证覆盖又能合理调整业务需求与设备开销，宏小区(macro cell)和小小区(small cells)共存的异构部署(Heterogeneous deployment) 场景将成为移动通信系统的主要部署场景之一。其中，宏小区负责用户的覆盖，小小区负责用户的数据卸载(offloading)。典型的小小区包括微蜂窝(micro cells)、毫微蜂窝(PicoCells)和毫微微蜂窝(Femto cells)。与小小区相比，宏小区基站的发射功率比较大。相应地，宏小区基站的功率放大器(Power Amplifier，PA)和射频单元 (Radio Frequency，RF)的功耗也很大，因此还需要配置一些空调设备以维持基站设备的正常运行。宏小区基站的能量效率(Energy Efficiency，EE)显著低于小小区。小小区在节能以及灵活部署方面有明显优势。In the future of mobile communication, in order to ensure coverage and reasonably adjust service requirements and equipment overhead, the heterogeneous deployment scenario in which macro cells and small cells coexist will become the main deployment of mobile communication systems. one of the scenes. The macro cell is responsible for user coverage, and the small cell is responsible for user data offloading. Typical small cells include micro cells, PicoCells, and Femto cells. Compared with the small cell, the transmission power of the macro cell base station is relatively large. Correspondingly, the power consumption of the power amplifier (Power Amplifier, PA) and the radio frequency unit (Radio Frequency, RF) of the macro cell base station is also very large, so some air conditioning equipment needs to be configured to maintain the normal operation of the base station equipment. The energy efficiency (Energy Efficiency, EE) of a macro cell base station is significantly lower than that of a small cell. Small cells have obvious advantages in energy saving and flexible deployment.
通常情况下，每个宏小区所服务的用户数目较多，因此用户总数以及整个小区总的上下行业务整体趋于稳定。小小区的覆盖面积较小，每个小小区同时服务的用户数目远小于宏小区的用户数。小小区内用户的动态变化，例如用户加入一个小小区或者离开一个小小区，也是非常快的。小小区的这种相对较快的动态变换，可能造成用户数以及数据需求在各个小小区间的不均衡分布。例如，一个小小区满负载运行的时候，相邻小小区可能处于低负载甚至闲置状态。Normally, each macro cell serves a large number of users, so the total number of users and the total uplink and downlink services of the entire cell tend to be stable as a whole. The coverage area of a small cell is small, and the number of users served by each small cell at the same time is much smaller than the number of users in a macro cell. Dynamic changes of users in a small cell, such as a user joining a small cell or leaving a small cell, are also very fast. This relatively fast dynamic change of small cells may cause 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, neighboring small cells may be in a low-load or even idle state.
为了节能以及降低小小区密集分布时小区间的干扰，一种动态开关小小区的方法被引入到了长期演进(Long Term Evolution，LTE)标准中。这种动态开关小小区的方法基于一种小区快速打开或者关闭的机制。当某个小小区内没有需要服务的UE或者某个小小区以及其周围的小小区都处于低负载的状况，则可以考虑将该小小区所服务的当前用户切换至相邻的小小区中，而后将该小小区关闭。当一个关闭的小小区内有一个新的用户到达，或者一个在其覆盖范围内的既有用户的一个新的数据包到达的时候，或者其它符合该小小区打开条件的事件发生时，这个小小区会被打开，用来服务新用户或者卸载大数据包传输等等。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 into the Long Term Evolution (Long Term Evolution, LTE) standard. This method of dynamically switching small cells is based on a mechanism in which cells are quickly turned on or off. When there is no UE that needs to be served in a small cell or a small cell and its surrounding small cells are in a low load state, the current user served by the small cell can be considered to be handed over to a neighboring small cell. The small cell is then closed. When a new user arrives in a closed small cell, or a new data packet from an existing user within its coverage area arrives, or other events that meet the opening conditions of the small cell occur, the small cell Cells are opened to serve new users or offload large packet transfers, etc.
为了提高系统传输效率，用户应该尽可能快速地发现足够多的小小区并且能够准确的测量这些小小区，以便有需求的时候能够利用这些已经评估过的小小区迅速开始为该用户提供服务。因此如何能让用户快速发现和准确测量小小区是LTE系统版本 12中主要解决的问题之一。In order to improve the transmission efficiency of the system, the user should discover enough small cells as quickly as possible and be able to measure these small cells accurately, so that when the need arises, the evaluated small cells can be used to quickly start to provide services for the user. Therefore, how to enable users to quickly discover and accurately measure small cells is one of the main problems to be solved in LTE system release 12.

具体实施方式Detailed ways
参照附图，通过下面的说明书，本发明的前述以及其它特征将变得明显。在说明书和附图中，具体公开了本发明的特定实施方式，其表明了其中可以采用本发明的原则的部分实施方式，应了解的是，本发明不限于所描述的实施方式，相反，本发明包括落入所附权利要求的范围内的全部修改、变型以及等同物。下面结合附图对本发明的各种实施方式进行说明。这些实施方式只是示例性的，不是对本发明的限制。The foregoing and other features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the specification and drawings, specific embodiments of the invention are disclosed in detail, which are indicative of some of the embodiments in which the principles of the invention may be employed, it being understood that the invention is not limited to the described embodiments, but rather The invention includes all modifications, variations and equivalents falling within the scope of the appended claims. Various embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are only exemplary and do not limit the present invention.
在针对小小区的发现信号的讨论中，一种比较好的选择是利用现有的信号，去实现小区的发现和测量。这样，可以利用现有的信号处理流程，从而尽可能重用原有的软、硬件设计方案以简化新版本系统的产品设计。In the discussion on the discovery signal of the small cell, a better choice is to use the existing signal to realize the discovery and measurement of the cell. In this way, the existing signal processing flow can be utilized to reuse the original software and hardware design solutions as much as possible to simplify the product design of the new version of the system.
在现有的信号中，由于原有的主同步信号(Primary Synchronous Signal，PSS)/辅同步信号(Secondary Synchronous Signal，SSS)、公共参考信号(Common ReferenceSignal，CRS)、信道状态信息参考信号(Channel State Information Reference Signal，CSI-RS)和定位参考信号(Positioning Reference Signal，PRS)都可能成为小小区发现信号的候选信号。但是，仅有其中的任意一种信号可能很难满足所有小小区部署场景中的小区发现和小区测量要求，例如正确发现小区的概率以及对小区测量的精准度。小小区的发现信号，可以由上述信号中的一种或者多种组成。在进行小区发现的过程中，利用一种信号做匹配后的相关概率和另一种信号做匹配后得到的相关概率是很容易合并的，例如现有小区发现中同时利用PSS和SSS信号进行。但是，现有的信号发送和接收方案中，一种测量通常仅基于一种信号完成。例如，可以基于含有 CRS的正交频分复用(Orthogonal FrequencyDivision Multiplexing，OFDM)符号进行无线资源管理(Radio Resource Management，RRM)测量，又或者基于含有CSI-RS 的OFDM符号进行信道状态信息(Channel StateInformation，CSI)测量。如果小小区的发现信号由多种不同类型的信号组成，例如由PSS/SSS/CRS/CSI-RS共同组成，仅仅利用一种信号进行一种测量可能是一种浪费。但是，由于各种信号的发送能量可能不同，因此，基于不同信号进行同一种测量时，不同的测量结果可能不能够直接合并。In the existing signal, due to the original Primary Synchronous Signal (PSS)/Secondary Synchronous Signal (SSS), Common Reference Signal (CRS), Channel State Information Reference Signal (Channel Both State Information Reference Signal, CSI-RS) and Positioning Reference Signal (Positioning Reference Signal, PRS) may become candidate signals for small cell discovery signals. However, only any one of these signals may be difficult to meet the cell discovery and cell measurement requirements in all small cell deployment scenarios, such as the probability of correctly discovering a cell and the accuracy of cell measurement. The discovery signal of the small cell may be composed of one or more of the above-mentioned signals. In the process of cell discovery, it is easy to combine the correlation probability obtained by matching one kind of signal with the correlation probability obtained after matching another kind of signal. For example, in the existing cell discovery, PSS and SSS signals are used simultaneously. However, in existing signal transmission and reception schemes, one measurement is usually performed based on only one signal. For example, radio resource management (Radio Resource Management, RRM) measurement may be performed based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols containing CRS, or channel state information (Channel State Information (Channel State Information) may be performed based on OFDM symbols containing CSI-RS. StateInformation, CSI) measurement. If the discovery signal of the small cell consists of multiple different types of signals, such as PSS/SSS/CRS/CSI-RS, it may be a waste to use only one type of signal to perform one measurement. However, since the transmission energy of various signals may be different, when the same measurement is performed based on different signals, different measurement results may not be directly combined.
为了解决这一问题，本发明实施例提供了一种解决方案，该方案可以同时利用不同信号进行同一种测量，并通过合并测量结果提高测量的精度。In order to solve this problem, the embodiments of the present invention provide a solution, in which the same measurement can be performed by using different signals at the same time, and the measurement accuracy can be improved by combining the measurement results.
下面结合附图对本发明实施例的小区测量方法、装置和通信系统进行详细说明。The cell measurement method, device, and communication system according to the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
实施例1Example 1
本发明实施例提供了一种小区测量方法，图1是该方法的流程图，请参照图1，该方法包括：An embodiment of the present invention provides a cell measurement method. FIG. 1 is a flowchart of the method. Please refer to FIG. 1 . The method includes:
步骤101：用户设备利用待测小区的至少两种不同类型的信号中的至少一种信号，对接收到的该待测小区的信号进行测量；其中，该至少两种不同类型的信号中的其中一种信号为调整测量结果时作为参考的标准信号。Step 101: The user equipment uses at least one signal of at least two different types of signals of the cell to be tested to measure the received signal of the cell to be tested; wherein, among the at least two different types of signals, the One signal is the standard signal used as a reference when adjusting the measurement results.
在本实施例中，进行上述测量的测量内容可以是信号质量，也即用户设备对接收到的该待测小区的信号的接收信号质量进行测量。接收信号质量可以表现为接收参考信号能量、或者接收信号信噪比、或者接收信号信干噪 比、或者接收信号中干扰信号和噪声总能量、或者接收参考信号和干扰信号和噪声的总能量之中的一种或多种。其中，接收参考信号能量可以表现为RSRP，接收参考信号和干扰信号和噪声的总能量可表现为接收信号强度指示(Received Signal Strength Indication，RSSI)，信号质量可以直接表现为参考信号接收质量(Reference Signal Receiving Quality，RSRQ)，但本实施例并不以此作为限制。In this embodiment, the measurement content for the above measurement may be signal quality, that is, the user equipment measures the received signal quality of the signal of the cell to be measured received. The quality of the received signal can be expressed as the energy of the received reference signal, or the signal-to-noise ratio of the received signal, or the signal-to-interference-to-noise ratio of the received signal, or the total energy of the interference signal and the noise in the received signal, or the total energy of the received reference signal, the interference signal and the noise. one or more of. The energy of the received reference signal can be expressed as RSRP, the total energy of the received reference signal, the interference signal and the noise can be expressed as the received signal strength indication (Received Signal Strength Indication, RSSI), and the signal quality can be directly expressed as the reference signal received quality (Reference Signal Strength Indication, RSSI). Signal Receiving Quality, RSRQ), but this embodiment does not limit it.
在本实施例的一个实施方式中，该用户设备的服务小区的基站(服务基站)可以配置该用户设备进行上述测量，该配置可以是针对服务基站进行的，也可以是针对服务基站所在的频点进行的，由此，用户设备可以根据其服务基站的配置进行上述测量。例如，该服务基站通过控制信令向所述用户设备发送进行上述测量的配置信息，在该配置信息中可以包含需要测量的待测小区是谁，还可以包含可以用于进行测量的该待测小区的至少两种不同类型的信号都有哪些。In an implementation of this embodiment, the base station (serving base station) of the serving cell of the user equipment may configure the user equipment to perform the above measurement, and the configuration may be performed for the serving base station or for the frequency where the serving base station is located. Therefore, the user equipment can perform the above measurements according to the configuration of its serving base station. For example, the serving base station sends configuration information for performing the above measurement to the user equipment through control signaling. The configuration information may include who is the cell to be measured that needs to be measured, and may also include the cell to be measured that can be used for measurement. What are the at least two different types of signals for the cell.
在本实施方式中，用户设备在每次测量中，根据从观察窗口观察到的信号，可以选择上述至少两种不同类型的信号中的至少一种进行上述测量。其中，每次测量所选择的信号可以相同也可以不同，并且，被选择的信号中可以包含标准信号也可以不包含标准信号。In this implementation manner, in each measurement, the user equipment may select at least one of the above at least two different types of signals to perform the above measurement according to the signal observed from the observation window. The signals selected for each measurement may be the same or different, and the selected signals may or may not include standard signals.
例如，该配置信息中所包含的待测小区的至少两种不同类型的信号为 CRS/CSI-RS，则用户设备可以同时利用CRS信号和CSI-RS信号对待测小区进行 RRM测量(例如其中的参考信号接收功率(Reference Signal Receiving Power，RSRP) 测量)或者进行CSI测量(例如其中的信号能量)。For example, if at least two different types of signals of the cell under test included in the configuration information are CRS/CSI-RS, the user equipment can use the CRS signal and the CSI-RS signal to perform RRM measurement on the cell under test at the same time (for example, the Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP) measurement) or CSI measurement (eg, signal energy therein).
在本实施方式中，标准信号是作为参考来进行测量结果的调整所使用，也即，用户设备在调整测量结果时可以参考该标准信号的测量结果来调整其它信号的测量结果，则将上述至少两种不同类型的信号中的哪一种作为上述标准信号，可以是该用户设备和该用户设备的服务基站事先约定的，例如，所有情况下都以CRS信号作为测量的标准信号；也可以是该用户设备的服务基站为该用户设备配置的，例如，将使用哪一种信号作为标准信号的信息包含于前述配置信息中，例如，配置CRS或者CSI-RS 作为本次测量的标准信号；还可以是默认的，例如，如果配置信息中缺省了关于标准信号的选项则默认标准信号为CRS，等等。In this implementation manner, the standard signal is used as a reference to adjust the measurement result, that is, the user equipment can adjust the measurement result of other signals with reference to the measurement result of the standard signal when adjusting the measurement result. Which of the two different types of signals is used as the above-mentioned standard signal may be pre-agreed by the user equipment and the serving base station of the user equipment. For example, in all cases, the CRS signal is used as the standard signal for measurement; it may also be The serving base station of the user equipment is configured for the user equipment, for example, the information on which signal to use as the standard signal is included in the foregoing configuration information, for example, CRS or CSI-RS is configured as the standard signal for this measurement; It can be default, for example, if the option about standard signal is defaulted in the configuration information, the default standard signal is CRS, and so on.
在本实施例的一个实施方式中，该方法还可以包括：In an implementation of this embodiment, the method may further include:
步骤102：所述用户设备将该至少两种不同类型的信号中除标准信号以外其它信号的测量结果调整为与该标准信号的测量结果相当的测量结果。Step 102: The user equipment adjusts the measurement results of other signals except the standard signal among the at least two different types of signals to a measurement result equivalent to the measurement result of the standard signal.
在本实施方式中，标准信号的测量结果可以是实际测量了该标准信号而获得的(实际测得的)，也可以是假设测量了该标准信号而获得的(假定的)。In this embodiment, the measurement result of the standard signal may be obtained by actually measuring the standard signal (actually measured), or may be obtained by assuming that the standard signal is measured (assumed).
在本实施方式中，该至少两种不同类型的信号可以由该待测小区在不同的时频资源上进行发送，例如这些信号可以以不同的周期和/或时域图样在普通的频域位置上发送，等等。并且，该待测小区可以是用户设备的服务小区，也可以是用户设备的相邻小区。In this embodiment, the at least two different types of signals may be sent by the cell to be tested on different time-frequency resources, for example, these signals may be at common frequency-domain locations with different periods and/or time-domain patterns on send, and so on. Moreover, the cell to be tested may be a serving cell of the user equipment, or may be a neighboring cell of the user equipment.
在本实施例的一个实施方式中，如果待测小区是该用户设备的服务小区，则该用户设备已知待测小区的基站(服务基站)所发送的该至少两种不同类型的信号的实际发送时频位置和实际发送功率，则在单次测量的观察窗口中，上述至少两种不同类型的信号可能仅有部分被发送，也即，用户设备可能在单次测量的观察窗口中观察到该待测小区的该至少两种不同类型的信号中的部分信号。因此，用户设备在单次测量中，可以选择被发送的信号中的一种或者一种以上进行上述测量，例如，如果观察到一种信号，则对观察到的该信号进行上述测量，而无需选择；如果观察到不止一种，例如两种或两种以上(称为多种)，则可以从中选择需要进行测量的信号，并对选择出的信号进行上述测量。In an implementation of this embodiment, if the cell to be tested is the serving cell of the user equipment, the user equipment knows the actual signal values of the at least two different types of signals sent by the base station (serving base station) of the cell to be tested. The transmission time-frequency position and the actual transmission power, in the observation window of a single measurement, the above at least two different types of signals may only be partially transmitted, that is, the user equipment may be observed in the observation window of a single measurement. Part of the signals of the at least two different types of signals of the cell to be tested. Therefore, in a single measurement, the user equipment can select one or more than one of the transmitted signals to perform the above measurement. For example, if a signal is observed, the above measurement is performed on the observed signal without the need for Selection; if more than one, such as two or more (referred to as multiple) are observed, the signal to be measured can be selected from among them, and the above-mentioned measurement is performed on the selected signal.
其中，由于待测小区的基站在发送上述至少两种不同类型的信号时可能采用不同功率，因此分别基于这至少两种信号进行测量的测量结果很可能不能直接合并，或者仅基于其中一种或者多种非标准信号进行测量的测量结果也不能直接上报。此时，在基于每一种信号的测量结束后，用户设备可以利用已经得到的上述至少两种不同类型的信号的发送功率信息，例如功率比，将进行上述测量的除标准信号以外的其它所有信号的测量结果调整为与标准信号的测量结果相当的测量结果。Wherein, since the base station of the cell to be tested may use different powers when transmitting the above at least two different types of signals, the measurement results measured based on the at least two types of signals may not be directly combined, or only based on one or Measurement results of various non-standard signals cannot be reported directly. At this time, after the measurement based on each type of signal ends, the user equipment can use the obtained transmission power information of the at least two different types of signals, such as the power ratio, to perform the above measurement except for the standard signal. The measurement result of the signal is adjusted to a measurement result equivalent to the measurement result of the standard signal.
可选的，如果用户设备采用了大于或等于两种信号进行上述测量，则在完成测量结果的调整后，用户设备还可以将测量结果进行合并，这里的测量结果可能是调整过的，也可能是没有经过调整的(例如标准信号自身)，由此得到此次测量的最终测量结果。这里不限制合并算法，例如可以是算术平均或者滑动平均。并且，用户设备还可以合并多次测量的结果，这里不再赘述。Optionally, if the user equipment uses two or more signals to perform the above measurement, after completing the adjustment of the measurement results, the user equipment may also combine the measurement results. The measurement results here may be adjusted or is unadjusted (eg, the standard signal itself), resulting in the final measurement result of this measurement. The merging algorithm is not limited here, for example, it may be an arithmetic average or a moving average. In addition, the user equipment may also combine the results of multiple measurements, which will not be repeated here.
例如，假设上述至少两种不同类型的信号为CRS和CSI-RS，其中，标准信号为 CRS。则待测小区的基站在发送CRS和CSI-RS时可能采用不同功率，并且，用户设备已知基站发送CRS的功率和CSI-RS的功率为2∶1。如果用户设备同时分别采用CRS 和CSI-RS测量发送信号能量，测得的结果分别为0.9和0.4。那么调整后的基于CRS 和CSI-RS测量结果分别为0.9和0.8。经过算术平均，合并后的测量结果为0.85。For example, it is assumed that the above at least two different types of signals are CRS and CSI-RS, wherein the standard signal is CRS. Then, the base station of the cell to be tested may use different powers when sending CRS and CSI-RS, and the user equipment knows that the power of the base station for sending CRS and the power of CSI-RS are 2:1.

Then the adjusted CRS-based and CSI-RS-based measurement results are 0.9 and 0.8, respectively. After arithmetic averaging, the combined measurement was 0.85.

As mentioned above, the user equipment may select one or more of the above at least two different types of signals in each measurement to perform the above measurement, and the signals selected for each measurement may be the same or different, and are determined by The selected signal may or may not contain a standard signal. Therefore, the user equipment will adjust and/or combine the measurement results obtained based on different reference signals, which can improve the measurement accuracy. And, if the user equipment observes one kind of signal in the observation window, the user equipment can perform the above measurement on the observed signal without making selection; if the user equipment observes a variety of signals in the observation window, then The user equipment may select a signal for performing the measurement from a variety of observed signals, and perform the above measurement on the selected signal.
其中，如果待测小区是该用户设备的服务小区，则如前所述，当需要调整测量结果时，用户设备可以直接获得其服务小区发送上述至少两种不同类型的信号的发送功率信息，由此完成上述调整，可选的，还可以对测量结果(包括调整后的测量结果) 进行合并，进而得到最终的测量结果。其中，调整方式和合并方式如前所述，在此省略说明。Wherein, if the cell to be measured is the serving cell of the user equipment, as described above, when the measurement result needs to be adjusted, the user equipment can directly obtain the transmission power information of the serving cell for sending the above-mentioned at least two different types of signals, which is determined by This completes the above adjustment, and optionally, the measurement results (including the adjusted measurement results) may also be combined to obtain the final measurement result. Among them, the adjustment method and the combination method are as described above, and the description is omitted here.
其中，如果待测小区是该用户设备的相邻小区，则如前所述，当需要调整测量结果时，该用户设备的服务小区的基站可以向该用户设备配置该相邻小区的所有可能用到的信号的功率信息(具体的配置方法将在以下实施例进行说明)，例如相对功率，也即相对于标准信号的功率。则该用户设备先接收其服务小区的基站发送的该待测小区的上述至少两种不同类型的信号的发送功率的信息，再据此调整其对所选择出的信号的测量结果。可选的，还可以对测量结果(包括调整后的测量结果)进行合并，进而得到最终的测量结果。其中，调整方式和合并方式如前所述，在此省略说明。Wherein, if the cell to be measured is a neighboring cell of the user equipment, as described above, when the measurement result needs to be adjusted, the base station of the serving cell of the user equipment can configure all possible user equipment of the neighboring cell to the user equipment. The power information of the received signal (the specific configuration method will be described in the following embodiments), such as the relative power, that is, the power relative to the standard signal. Then, the user equipment first receives the information on the transmit power of the at least two different types of signals of the cell to be tested sent by the base station of the serving cell, and then adjusts the measurement result of the selected signal accordingly. Optionally, the measurement results (including the adjusted measurement results) may also be combined to obtain a final measurement result. Among them, the adjustment method and the combination method are as described above, and the description is omitted here.
在本实施例的一个实施方式中，得到测量结果以后，该方法还可以包括：In an implementation of this embodiment, after the measurement result is obtained, the method may further include:
步骤103：所述用户设备向其服务小区的基站上报测量结果。Step 103: the user equipment reports the measurement result to the base station of its serving cell.
其中，用户设备可以周期性的上报测量结果也可以通过事件触发上报测量结果。例如，对于周期性上报的情况，基站可以配置用户设备周期上报测量结果，则用户设备内部设置有一个计时器，当该计时器超时，用户设备就上报一次测量结果。又例如，对于事件触发的情况，如果测量结果满足某些条件，则触发用户设备上报测量结果。The user equipment may periodically report the measurement result or report the measurement result through an event trigger. For example, in the case of periodic reporting, the base station can configure the user equipment to report the measurement result periodically, then the user equipment is internally set with a timer, and when the timer expires, the user equipment reports the measurement result once. For another example, in the case of event triggering, if the measurement result satisfies certain conditions, the user equipment is triggered to report the measurement result.
除此以外，用户设备也可以在上报测量结果的同时上报其测量是基于哪些信号的。这种情况下，上报的结果可以是合并后的，也可以是分别基于每一种信号得到结果。并且，基于非标准信号得到的结果可以是经过调整的也可以是未经调整的，但用户设备和基站针对是否进行过调整的理解应该是一致的(可以约定也可以配置)。例如，通过上报“CRS：0.9；CSI-RS：0.4”表明基于CRS的测量结果为0.9，基于CSI-RS 的测量结果为0.4，其中，标准信号为CRS，上报的测量结果是未经调整的，且没有合并。In addition to this, the user equipment may also report the signals on which the measurement is based while reporting the measurement result. In this case, the reported results may be combined, or the results may be obtained based on each signal separately. Moreover, the result obtained based on the non-standard signal may be adjusted or unadjusted, but the user equipment and the base station should have the same understanding of whether the adjustment has been made (it can be agreed or configured). For example, reporting "CRS: 0.9; CSI-RS: 0.4" indicates that the CRS-based measurement result is 0.9, and the CSI-RS-based measurement result is 0.4, wherein the standard signal is CRS, and the reported measurement result is unadjusted , and not merged.
在本实施例中，当基站确认用户设备无需进行测量结果调整的时候，例如基站配置了或者事先约定了用户设备可以分别针对不同信号上报结果，基站可以不对用户设备配置其可能使用的所有信号的功率信息。In this embodiment, when the base station confirms that the user equipment does not need to adjust the measurement results, for example, the base station has configured or agreed in advance that the user equipment can report results for different signals respectively, and the base station may not configure the user equipment for all signals that it may use. power information.
通过本实施例的方法，用户设备可以利用不同信号进行同一种测量，另外，通过参考标准信号的测量结果调整其它信号的测量结果，然后对测量结果进行合并，进一步提高了测量的精度。With the method in this embodiment, the user equipment can use different signals to perform the same measurement, and in addition, adjust the measurement results of other signals by referring to the measurement results of the standard signal, and then combine the measurement results, which further improves the measurement accuracy.
