Method and equipment for cell selection

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and equipment for cell selection and relates to the technical field of wireless communication. With the method and equipment, user equipment, when initiating or switching a service, can be more accurately connected to a cell capable of providing service for the service so as to complete the service process, signaling overhead load at a network side can be reduced, and the user experience can be enhanced. The method comprises the steps of: acquiring a service type of a cell service and signal quality corresponding to a cell; and selecting at least one cell capable of providing the service for the user equipment according to the service type of the cell service, the signal quality corresponding to the cell and the type of the service initiated by the user equipment. The method and the equipment disclosed by the embodiment of the invention are mainly applied to the process of cell selection when the user equipment initiates and switches a service.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wireless communication, in particular to a cell selection method and equipment. Background technique [0002] Wireless communication has entered a period of explosive growth of data services. Operators need to solve two problems at the same time: provide higher network capacity and reduce the transmission cost per bit. Currently, the use of Hetnet (heterogeneous network, heterogeneous network) is an important solution to the above problems. A Hetnet is a network composed of cells of different sizes and types. By deploying the cells in the Hetnet, it can provide nearly 10 times the system capacity for traffic-intensive areas, and the low construction and management costs of the cells in the Hetnet can effectively reduce the operator's network construction and operation costs. At present, in Hetnet, when user equipment performs cell reselection or inter-cell handover, the user equipment or the net...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

At present, in Hetnet, when user equipment performs cell reselection or inter-cell handover, the user equipment or the network side only selects a new cell based on the signal quality, but due to the possible limitations of the service type of the new cell, it is impossible to provide the required information for the user equipment. Or the business being processed, this will cause the network side to control the user equipment to perform redirection or handover again, thereby increasing the signaling overhead load of the network and reducing the user experience
