Definitions
- This paperrelates to the field of communications, and in particular to a heterogeneous network measurement method, a measurement configuration method, an optimization method, a macro base station, a user terminal, and a communication system.
- a heterogeneous networkemerges, that is, multiple micro-cells are deployed in a macro cell coverage area. Zones, macro cells provide wide coverage, and micro cells are used to increase the throughput of hotspots.
- the coverage of the micro cellis completely within the macro cell, and the terminal within the coverage of the micro cell can receive both the signal of the macro cell and the signal of the micro cell. When the terminal moves, it may travel through multiple micro cells.
- these microcellscan be autonomously turned on and off at any time. This makes the network environment unstable.
- the network configuration strategyis also different.
- the macro cell serving terminalmoves the terminal to the neighboring macro cell, which causes switching between macro cells.
- the terminaldoes not need to perform handover in the coverage of the micro-area.
- the medium-high speed terminal(the terminal with a moving speed greater than 30 km/h) does not switch, and is always served by the macro cell, and the low-speed terminal (moving The terminal whose speed is less than or equal to 30km/h can be determined by the network side according to the load balancing algorithm.
- multiple technical solutionsare available, such as carrier aggregation, dual connectivity, and the like. It can be seen that the network needs to adjust its configuration according to the networking situation, that is, the network needs to monitor its own network deployment status, so as to optimize network parameters and policies in time.
- the networkknows its networking situation in three ways: The first is that the staff manually configures through the gateway and other devices. This method is inefficient, inflexible, and difficult to change. The second is that the cells communicate with each other through the X2 interface. The neighboring cell is notified when it is turned off or on. This method is limited by the capacity of the X2 interface, and is not applicable to the scenario without the X2 interface. The third is that the terminal independently discovers and reports to the network, and the terminal will discover the neighboring area by measuring the neighboring area. The neighboring area measurement result that meets the condition is reported to the network side, and then the network side knows the newly added neighboring area. This method is flexible and does not rely on the X2 interface. However, at present, there are 8 measurement events available, including:
- Measuring event A1the serving cell signal is better than a certain threshold
- Measuring event A2(the serving cell signal is worse than a certain threshold);
- Measuring event A3(the neighboring cell signal is better than the local cell by a certain offset);
- Measuring event A4neighbored signal is better than a certain threshold
- Measure event A5(the signal in this area is worse than a certain threshold, and the signal in the neighboring area is better than a certain threshold)
- Measurement event A6neighbored signal is better than a certain offset from the secondary cell
- Measurement event B1Inter RAT neighbor signal is better than a certain threshold
- Measure event B2(the signal in this area is worse than a certain threshold, and the Inter RAT neighbor signal is better than a certain threshold)
- the signal strength of the macro cellis required to be strong, and the signal strength of the micro cell is also strong. Therefore, to determine whether the terminal is located in the overlapping area of the macro cell and the micro cell, the signal strength of the macro cell measured by the terminal is higher than a certain threshold, and the signal strength of the micro cell is also higher than a certain threshold.

Abstract
Description
本文涉及通信领域，尤其涉及一种异构网测量方法、测量配置方法、优化方法、宏基站、用户终端及通信系统。This paper relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a heterogeneous network measurement method, a measurement configuration method, an optimization method, a macro base station, a user terminal, and a communication system.
在LTE(Long Term Evolution，长期演进)标准及LTE-A(Long Term Evolution-Advanced，增强的长期演进)标准演进中，出现一种异构网，即一个宏小区覆盖范围内再部署多个微小区，宏小区提供广覆盖，微小区用来提高热点区域的吞吐量。在这种组网类型中，微小区的覆盖范围完全在宏小区内，处于微小区覆盖范围内的终端既能接收到宏小区的信号，也能接收到微小区的信号。终端移动时可能会穿梭于多个微小区。而且，这些微小区可以自主地实现随时开启和关闭。这就使得网络环境不稳定。In the evolution of the LTE (Long Term Evolution) standard and the LTE-A (Long Term Evolution-Advanced) standard, a heterogeneous network emerges, that is, multiple micro-cells are deployed in a macro cell coverage area. Zones, macro cells provide wide coverage, and micro cells are used to increase the throughput of hotspots. In this type of networking, the coverage of the micro cell is completely within the macro cell, and the terminal within the coverage of the micro cell can receive both the signal of the macro cell and the signal of the micro cell. When the terminal moves, it may travel through multiple micro cells. Moreover, these microcells can be autonomously turned on and off at any time. This makes the network environment unstable.
在不同组网情况下，对网络配置策略也不尽相同。在同构网组网场景下，由宏小区服务终端，终端移动到相邻宏小区，会造成宏小区之间的切换。而在异构组网场景下，终端进入微小区覆盖范围内，不一定需要进行切换，例如中高速终端(移动速度大于30km/h的终端)不切换，始终由宏小区服务，低速终端(移动速度小于等于30km/h的终端)可根据负荷均衡算法由网络侧决定是否切换。在异构组网场景下，可采用多种技术方案，例如，载波聚合、双连接等。可见，网络需要根据组网情况调整自己的配置，也就是网络需要监测自己的网络部署状况，以便及时优化网络参数和策略。In different networking situations, the network configuration strategy is also different. In a homogeneous network networking scenario, the macro cell serving terminal moves the terminal to the neighboring macro cell, which causes switching between macro cells. In a heterogeneous networking scenario, the terminal does not need to perform handover in the coverage of the micro-area. For example, the medium-high speed terminal (the terminal with a moving speed greater than 30 km/h) does not switch, and is always served by the macro cell, and the low-speed terminal (moving The terminal whose speed is less than or equal to 30km/h can be determined by the network side according to the load balancing algorithm. In a heterogeneous networking scenario, multiple technical solutions are available, such as carrier aggregation, dual connectivity, and the like. It can be seen that the network needs to adjust its configuration according to the networking situation, that is, the network needs to monitor its own network deployment status, so as to optimize network parameters and policies in time.
网络知晓其组网情况有三种方式：第一种是工作人员通过网关等设备进行人工配置，这种方法效率低、不灵活、不易更改；第二种是小区间通过X2接口相互通信，小区在关闭、开启时通知相邻小区，这种方法受限于X2接口的容量，而且不适用无X2接口的场景；第三种是终端自主发现并上报给网络，终端通过测量邻区，将发现的满足条件的邻区测量结果上报给网络侧，继而网络侧得知新增加的邻区。这种方法灵活、且不依赖X2接口。可是，目前，可利用的测量事件有8种，包括：The network knows its networking situation in three ways: The first is that the staff manually configures through the gateway and other devices. This method is inefficient, inflexible, and difficult to change. The second is that the cells communicate with each other through the X2 interface. The neighboring cell is notified when it is turned off or on. This method is limited by the capacity of the X2 interface, and is not applicable to the scenario without the X2 interface. The third is that the terminal independently discovers and reports to the network, and the terminal will discover the neighboring area by measuring the neighboring area. The neighboring area measurement result that meets the condition is reported to the network side, and then the network side knows the newly added neighboring area. This method is flexible and does not rely on the X2 interface. However, at present, there are 8 measurement events available, including:
测量事件A1(服务小区信号好于一定门限)；Measuring event A1 (the serving cell signal is better than a certain threshold);
测量事件A2(服务小区信号差于一定门限)；Measuring event A2 (the serving cell signal is worse than a certain threshold);
测量事件A3(邻区信号比本小区好于一定偏移)；Measuring event A3 (the neighboring cell signal is better than the local cell by a certain offset);
测量事件A4(邻区信号好于一定门限)；Measuring event A4 (neighborhood signal is better than a certain threshold);
测量事件A5(本区信号差于一定门限，且邻区信号好于一定门限)Measure event A5 (the signal in this area is worse than a certain threshold, and the signal in the neighboring area is better than a certain threshold)
测量事件A6(邻区信号比辅小区好于一定偏移)Measurement event A6 (neighborhood signal is better than a certain offset from the secondary cell)
测量事件B1(Inter RAT邻区信号好于一定门限)Measurement event B1 (Inter RAT neighbor signal is better than a certain threshold)
测量事件B2(本区信号差于一定门限，且Inter RAT邻区信号好于一定门限)Measure event B2 (the signal in this area is worse than a certain threshold, and the Inter RAT neighbor signal is better than a certain threshold)
当终端位于宏小区和微小区的重叠区域内，且宏小区和微小区都可为其提供服务时，就要求宏小区的信号强度很强，微小区的信号强度也很强。因此，要判断终端是否位于宏小区和微小区的重叠区域内，终端测量到的宏小区的信号强度要高于一定门限，且微小区的信号强度也要高于一定门限。但目前的上述8种测量事件，还没有满足上述条件的测量事件。When the terminal is located in the overlapping area of the macro cell and the micro cell, and both the macro cell and the micro cell can provide services for the terminal, the signal strength of the macro cell is required to be strong, and the signal strength of the micro cell is also strong. Therefore, to determine whether the terminal is located in the overlapping area of the macro cell and the micro cell, the signal strength of the macro cell measured by the terminal is higher than a certain threshold, and the signal strength of the micro cell is also higher than a certain threshold. However, at present, the above eight measurement events have not yet met the measurement events of the above conditions.

When the macro base station does not know whether there is an open micro cell with a frequency point of F1, the macro base station configures the measurement event A7 of the measurement object F1 for the user terminal in the lower connection state, and notifies the user terminal by using the radio resource control protocol RRC;
用户终端在接收到测量配置后，对频点F1进行测量，当终端处于宏小区和微小区的共同覆盖下，宏小区信号强度大于第一信号强度阈值，微小区信号强度大于第二信号强度阈值；宏小区和微小区的测量结果满足测量事件A7条件后，将测量结果上报给宏基站。After receiving the measurement configuration, the user terminal measures the frequency point F1 when the terminal is in the macro cell.Under the common coverage of the micro cell, the signal strength of the macro cell is greater than the threshold of the first signal strength, and the signal strength of the micro cell is greater than the threshold of the second signal strength; after the measurement result of the macro cell and the micro cell meets the condition of the measurement event A7, the measurement result is reported to Macro base station.
