Cell switching method and device

Abstract

This invention relates to a local area switch method and a device including: a UE sets up service at AP, which measures signal strength of each macro-area existing in the geographical region where AP locates and selects a macro-area meeting the requirement as the target macro-area switched by said AP, when the AP signal strength of the place UE situates is lower than the preset threshold value, the service connection of the UE is switched to said target macro-region from said AP area, which determines the switched macro-area measured by AP in advance, when the AP signal reduces to the set threshold value, a blind switch is triggered timely to ensure success of the switch and connection and quality of user service.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mobile communication, in particular to a cell switching method and device. Background technique [0002] In order to make better use of existing network resources, protect the cost of network equipment operators, and provide high-speed and convenient access to the network, operators introduce UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) as shown in Figure 1 into the wireless network. AP-AG (Access Point-Access Gateway) device. Wherein, the AP controls access to the UMTS through the AG. The access of the AP effectively expands the coverage diameter of the wireless network, so that the existing wireless network can access more wireless high-speed data users, thereby greatly reducing the impact of high-speed data services on the mobile network. [0003] Usually, the AP is deployed at the residence of the user. Therefore, the AP cell and the macro cell where the AP is located form the same cove...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0010] (1) It is difficult to pre-configure blind handover cells for each AP;

[0011] Usually the coverage of a macro cell is not very large, and it is difficult for maintenance personnel to know the macro cell where the user’s address is based on the address filled in by the user, especially when the customer service personnel leave the maintenance desk and face the customer, it is even more impossible Keep abreast of relevant information

In addition, APs are user-end devices, and the number of them is huge. Therefore, one of the difficulties in implementing this solution is that operators need to pre-configure blind handover cells for each AP.

[0012] (2) It is difficult to maintain the pre-configured blind handover cell for each AP;

It can be seen that another difficulty in the implementation of this solution is that operators need to invest too much manpower and material resources in network maintenance, including reconfiguring data for AP blind handover cells, which is obviously against the wishes of operators.
