A cell switching method and a base station

Abstract

The invention discloses a cell switching method and a base station. The method comprises the following steps that a source base station triggers switching; the source base station sends a switching request to a target base station, wherein the switching request carries capability information of terminal equipment to be switched, and the protocol version used by the target base station is higher than the protocol version used by the source base station; the source base station receives a switching response message sent by the target base station, and obtains undecoded configuration informationfrom the switching response message based on an abstract syntax mark corresponding to the switching response message in a communication protocol used by the source base station, wherein the decoding format of the Handover Command-r8-Ies contained in the abstract syntax mark on the switching response message is defined as the Handover Command OCTET STRING, and the decoding format of the Handover Command-r8-Ies contained in the abstract syntax mark on the switching response message is defined as the Handover Command OCTET STRING; and the source base station forwards the undecoded configuration information to terminal equipment to be switched, so that the terminal equipment to be switched completes switching according to the undecoded configuration information.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of communications, in particular to a cell switching method and a base station. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of communication technology, the addition of more new features and the repair of vulnerabilities, the versions of the Long Term Evolution (LTE) protocol are also gradually upgraded and improved, from the initial release of commercial protocol versions R8 and R9 to the current Long-term evolution technology upgrade (LTE-Advanced, LTE-A) related protocol versions R10, R12, etc. [0003] Due to the diversity of protocol versions, for the actual base station deployment in the field, there must be cases where the protocol versions of the local station and the neighboring stations are different. However, when the protocol versions used by the local station and the neighboring stations are different, and the terminal equipment needs to switch services between the loc...
