Configuring and positioning method of Femto and relevant device

Abstract

The invention discloses a configuring and positioning method of a Femto and a relevant device, which are used to realize two-way reselection and switching between a Femto cell and an inter-system macro cell on the premise of not reconstructing the Femto of the existing network. The configuring method of the Femto comprises the steps of receiving frequency sweep report information reported by the Femto, obtaining position information of the Femto, selecting at least one co-system macro cell according to signal intensity information carried in the frequency sweep report information, selecting at least one inter-system macro cell according to the position information of the Femto, judging whether a common neighboring area exists between the co-system macro cell and the inter-system macro cell, and indicating the Femto to configure parameter information and the neighboring area of the Femto according to a judgment result.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mobile communication, in particular to a home base station configuration and positioning method and related devices. Background technique [0002] Femto is a small and low-power base station. It is deployed in users' homes or small and medium-sized enterprises. Its main function is to make up for the lack of coverage of existing cellular wireless communication systems and provide better service rates. Usually, a cell covered by a Femto is called a Femto cell, an existing cellular mobile wireless communication system is called a macro network, and a cell covered by the macro network is called a macro cell. [0003] In the prior art, since there are various network standards, the Femto base station needs to support reselection and handover between different systems. For example, the Femto base station supports Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA, Time Division-Synchron...

Problems solved by technology

Since the Femto base station supporting the TD-SCDMA standard can only monitor the network signals of the same standard, relevant information cannot be obtained on the air interface, that is, the Femto base station cannot know the information of the surrounding GSM macro cells. In order to solve the above problems, the existing In technology, the following two solutions are proposed:

[0004] 1. Add a neighbor cell information dynamically or statically in the macro cell uniformly, and configure all the Femto cell information to be the same as the neighbor cell information. However, in the actual implementation, the base station in the existing network needs to be transformed, because The number of base stations in the existing network is extremely large, so the unified transformation is time-consuming and laborious;

[0005] 2. Use the registered location of Femto (such as the location information when the user opens an account) to query the information of adjacent cells of different systems around the Femto base station, and use the information of adjacent cells obtained from the query as the information of adjacent cells of the Femto cell. Using this scheme, Femto can be realized. Reselection and handover from a cell to a macro cell of a different system. However, since the macro cell of a different system cannot obtain relevant information about a Femto cell, reselection and handover from a macro cell of a different system to a Femto cell cannot be realized.

Moreover, when the Femto base station moves and the surrounding wireless network environment changes, the original configuration of adjacent cell information will become invalid.
