Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a threshold configuration method, a network-side device, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, a terminal switches from its camped cell to a neighboring cell based on a conditional handover event. During this process, when the terminal detects that the Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) of the camped cell is less than a first threshold, it reports an A2 event to the network side so that the network side can configure the terminal to start inter-frequency measurement based on the A2 event. If an A4 event occurs during inter-frequency measurement (i.e., the RSRP of the neighboring cell is higher than a second threshold), the terminal will report an A4 event to the network side so that the network side can start the handover process to the neighboring cell based on the A4 event.

[0003] As can be seen from the above, in the existing technology, the terminal can only camp on a cell with better frequency coverage performance based on the frequency coverage performance of the camping cell and the neighboring cells. Therefore, the handover process is not very targeted. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a threshold configuration method, a network-side device, and a computer-readable storage medium, which can improve the targeting of the handover process.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is implemented as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a threshold configuration method applied to the network side, the method comprising:

[0007] The first network entity configures the first cell and the second cell to the same or different first thresholds, and / or configures the first cell and the second cell to the same or different second thresholds;

[0008] The first cell configures a first threshold and a second threshold for the terminals under the first cell;

[0009] The second cell configures a first threshold and a second threshold for the terminals under the second cell;

[0010] Wherein, one of the first cell and the second cell is an anchor cell, and the other of the first cell and the second cell is a non-anchor cell; when the first signal strength of the cell where the terminal is stationed is less than the first threshold of the cell where the terminal is stationed, the terminal reports event A to the network side; when the second signal strength of the neighboring cell of the terminal is greater than the second threshold of the cell where the terminal is stationed, the terminal reports event B to the network side.

[0011] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention provide a network-side device, including: a processor and a transceiver;

[0012] The processor is configured to set the first cell and the second cell to the same or different first thresholds, and / or to set the first cell and the second cell to the same or different second thresholds.

[0013] The first cell configures a first threshold and a second threshold for the terminals under the first cell;

[0014] The second cell configures a first threshold and a second threshold for the terminals under the second cell;

[0015] Wherein, one of the first cell and the second cell is an anchor cell, and the other of the first cell and the second cell is a non-anchor cell; when the first signal strength of the cell where the terminal is stationed is less than the first threshold of the cell where the terminal is stationed, the terminal reports event A to the network side; when the second signal strength of the neighboring cell of the terminal is greater than the second threshold of the cell where the terminal is stationed, the terminal reports event B to the network side.

[0016] Thirdly, embodiments of the present invention provide a network-side device, including: a processor, a memory, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the computer program, when executed by the processor, implements the steps in the threshold configuration method as described in the first aspect.

[0017] Fourthly, embodiments of the present invention provide a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps in the threshold configuration method described in the first aspect.

[0018] In this embodiment, when the first signal strength of the terminal's camping cell is less than the first threshold of the camping cell, the terminal reports event A to the network side; when the second signal strength of the terminal's neighboring cell is greater than the second threshold of the camping cell, the terminal reports event B to the network side. At this time, the network side will switch the terminal from the camping cell to the neighboring cell based on the reported events A and B. In this embodiment of the invention, the first network entity configures the first cell and the second cell to have the same or different first thresholds, and / or configures the first cell and the second cell to have the same or different second thresholds. This way, the terminal will preferentially camp on cells with smaller first thresholds and / or larger second thresholds. By adjusting the first and second thresholds of the first and second cells respectively through the first network, the terminal is more likely to camp on cells where events A and B are relatively easily triggered, thereby improving the targeting of the handover process.

[0024] Figure 4 This is a structural diagram of a network-side device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Current 5G deployment methods are divided into two categories: Standalone (SA) and Non-Standalone (NSA). For example... Figure 1 As shown, in the NSA architecture, the control plane data of the terminal (User Equipment, UE) is transmitted through the 4G network, while the user plane data is transmitted through the 5G network. At this time, the 5G network must rely on the 4G network to provide the control plane.

[0027] In a 4G (LTE) network, multiple LTE carriers can be included. Often, only one or two carriers are modified to become anchor carriers supporting NSA (i.e., carriers providing the 5G control panel). The other carriers corresponding to this anchor carrier are non-anchor carriers. This means that a network can have both anchor and non-anchor carriers simultaneously. For example, in current networks, LTE frequency bands include: FDD 1800 band (generally including one carrier), F band (including two carriers), FDD 900 band (including one carrier), and E band (including three carriers, and only for indoor use). In actual network deployment, only the FDD 1800 band is modified for anchor carrier conversion. Therefore, among the FDD 1800, F, FDD 900, and E bands, only one carrier in the FDD 1800 band is an anchor carrier; the carriers in the other bands are non-anchor carriers.

[0028] The superior transmission performance of 5G networks has created a demand for keeping more terminals on anchor carriers. This allows 5G auxiliary carriers to be added immediately when a terminal initiates a high-speed service, reducing service latency and improving user experience.

[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, the purpose of targeted handover is achieved by configuring the stationary cell and neighboring cells with the same or different first thresholds, and configuring the stationary cell and neighboring cells with the same or different second thresholds. For example, when a terminal initiates a high-speed service, the terminal is switched to the anchor carrier as much as possible.

[0030] Please see Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a threshold configuration method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the threshold configuration method may include the following steps:

[0031] Step 201: The first network entity configures the first cell and the second cell to the same or different first thresholds, and / or configures the first cell and the second cell to the same or different second thresholds, wherein one of the first cell and the second cell is an anchor cell, and the other of the first cell and the second cell is a non-anchor cell.

[0032] Step 202: The first cell configures the first threshold and the second threshold of the first cell for the terminals under the first cell.

[0033] Step 203: The second cell configures a first threshold and a second threshold for the terminal under the second cell. When the first signal strength of the cell where the terminal is camped is less than the first threshold of the cell where the terminal is camped, the terminal reports event A to the network side; when the second signal strength of the neighboring cell of the terminal is greater than the second threshold of the cell where the terminal is camped, the terminal reports event B to the network side.

[0034] In specific implementation, the aforementioned first network entity can be a network management device, such as at least one of the following: Operation and Management Center (OMC), Operation Administration and Maintenance (OAM), and Operation Supporting System (OSS).

[0035] Optionally, the first signal strength and the second signal strength mentioned above are the Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP).

[0036] In this embodiment, the signal quality of the terminal in the first cell and the second cell can be determined based on the RSRP. When the signal quality of the terminal's current cell is poor and the signal quality of the neighboring cell is good, the terminal is switched to the neighboring cell to ensure the communication quality between the terminal and the network-side equipment. This switching process is the same as the process of a terminal switching from one cell to a neighboring cell in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0037] Of course, in specific implementations, the first signal strength and the second signal strength mentioned above can also be other signal quality parameters, which are not specifically limited here.

[0038] In implementation, the terminal can determine when to report event A and event B based on instructions from the network-side equipment. For example, the terminal detects the first signal strength of the cell it is camping on, and when the first signal strength is less than a first threshold for the cell, it reports event A to the network side. Based on this reported event A, the cell instructs the terminal to detect the second signal strength of neighboring cells. When it finds that the signal strength of a neighboring cell is greater than the second threshold for the cell it is camping on, it reports event B to the network side. As another example, the terminal detects the first signal strength of the cell it is camping on and the second signal strength of neighboring cells. When the first signal strength is less than the first threshold for the cell it is camping on, and the second signal strength is greater than the second threshold for the cell it is camping on, it reports both event A and event B to the network side.

[0039] In implementation, when the first network entity sets different first thresholds for the first cell and the second cell, or sets different second thresholds for the first cell and the second cell, the ease with which a terminal can hand over from the first cell to the second cell is different from the ease with which a terminal can hand over from the second cell to the first cell, thus enabling targeted handover. For example, the first and second thresholds for cells with better signal quality, higher transmission speed, and less load can be configured to be different from the first and second thresholds for cells with poor signal quality, lower transmission speed, and excessive load, so that terminals tend to camp on cells with better signal quality, higher transmission speed, and less load more often.

[0040] Of course, in specific implementation, the first network entity can also set the first threshold of the first cell and the second cell to be the same, or set the second threshold of the first cell and the second cell to be the same, depending on the needs of the actual application scenario. No specific limitation is made here.

[0041] It should be noted that, in implementation, step 202 can be executed first, followed by step 203; or step 203 can be executed first, followed by step 202; or steps 202 and 203 can be executed simultaneously, such as... Figure 2 The flowchart shown is for illustrative purposes only, and the execution order of steps 202 and 203 above is not limited here.

[0042] As an optional implementation, the method further includes:

[0043] The stationed cell receives the first signal strength of the stationed cell reported by the terminal;

[0044] When the first signal strength is less than a first threshold of the cell, the stationed cell sends a first indication message to the terminal, wherein the first indication message is used to instruct the terminal to perform inter-frequency measurement;

[0045] The stationed cell receives the second signal strength of the neighboring cell reported by the terminal.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the signal quality of the cell where the terminal is camped is good, inter-frequency measurement is not performed, thereby saving the terminal's reporting resources and the computational load during the signal quality detection process; while when the signal quality of the cell where the terminal is camped is poor, inter-frequency detection is performed according to the instructions of the network side to find neighboring cells with better signal quality.

[0047] As an optional implementation, the method further includes: the first signal strength of the stationary cell and the second signal strength of the neighboring cell reported by the stationary cell receiving terminal.

[0048] In this embodiment, compared to the previous embodiment where the terminal initiates inter-frequency measurement based on the first instruction information from the network side, the terminal's reporting process is simpler.

[0049] In one alternative implementation, event A is event A2, and event B is event A4.

[0050] The meanings and triggering conditions of the aforementioned A2 and A4 events are the same as those of the A2 and A4 events in the existing technology during inter-frequency handover. Specifically, the aforementioned A2 event indicates that the terminal's first signal strength to the stationed cell is less than the first threshold of the stationed cell; the aforementioned S4 event indicates that the terminal's second signal strength to the neighboring cell is greater than the second threshold of the stationed cell.

[0051] In practice, after the terminal reports the A2 event to the network side, it enables the inter-frequency measurement function according to the network side configuration to detect the second signal strength of the neighboring cell. If the second signal strength is greater than the second threshold of the stationed cell, the terminal reports the A4 event to the network side.

[0052] In this embodiment, before reporting the A2 event, the terminal only detects the first signal strength of the cell where it is camped. After reporting the A2 event, it starts inter-frequency detection according to the instructions of the network side device to detect the second signal strength of the neighboring cell. In this way, when the signal quality of the cell where the terminal is camped is good, inter-frequency measurement is not performed, thereby saving the terminal's resource consumption and computing power.

[0053] In another alternative implementation, event A is event A51 and event B is event A52.

[0054] In this embodiment, the A51 event has the same meaning as the A2 event, and the A52 event has the same meaning as the A4 event. The difference is that, in this embodiment, the A51 event and the A52 event can also be referred to as the A5 event. The A51 event is reported to the network side through a single reporting event, while the A2 event and the A4 event need to be measured in two steps and reported to the network side through two reporting events.

[0055] Specifically, the terminal can simultaneously detect the first signal strength of the stationed cell and the second signal strength of the neighboring cell, and report the A5 event to the network side when the first signal strength is less than the first threshold of the stationed cell and the second signal strength is greater than the second threshold of the stationed cell.

[0056] In practice, A5 events are more commonly used in the handover process from a non-anchor cell to an anchor cell.

[0057] In this embodiment, during the inter-frequency handover process, the terminal only needs to perform a reporting event once and does not need to receive the first indication information from the network side. This saves the terminal's uplink and downlink resources and reduces the latency during the handover process, thereby improving the handover speed.

[0058] In practical applications, the first network entity can configure the same or different first thresholds for different cells, and / or configure the same or different second thresholds for different cells. Thus, by adjusting the first and second thresholds of a cell, the ease with which a terminal can handover to that cell changes. For example, a higher first threshold for a cell makes it easier for the terminal to meet the triggering condition of event A, thus making it easier to handover to a neighboring cell. Conversely, a higher second threshold for a cell makes it more difficult for the terminal to meet the triggering condition of event B, thus making it more difficult to handover to a neighboring cell.

[0059] In implementation, the first network entity can adjust the first threshold and the second threshold of the first cell and the second cell respectively according to the signal transmission capacity of the first cell and the second cell, the number of terminals carried, etc. For example, assuming that the first cell is a 5G cell, the second cell is a 4G cell, and the number of terminals carried on the first cell is small, the first network entity will configure the first threshold of the first cell to be less than the first threshold of the second cell, and configure the second threshold of the first cell to be greater than the second threshold of the second cell.

[0060] As an optional implementation, the first network entity configures the first cell and the second cell to the same or different first thresholds, and / or configures the first cell and the second cell to the same or different second thresholds, including at least one of the following:

[0061] The first network entity configures the first threshold of the anchor cell to be less than the first threshold of the non-anchor cell;

[0062] The first network entity configures the second threshold of the anchor cell to be greater than the second threshold of the non-anchor cell;

[0063] The first network entity configures the first threshold of the anchor cell to be less than the second threshold of the non-anchor cell.

[0064] In this scenario, when the first threshold of the anchor cell is configured to be less than the first threshold of the non-anchor cell, the terminal camped on the non-anchor cell is more likely to meet the triggering condition of event A than the terminal camped on the anchor cell. This makes it easier for the terminal camped on the non-anchor cell to trigger and report event A. Thus, after the terminal reports event A, it is only necessary to detect that the signal strength of the neighboring cell is higher than the second threshold of the camped cell to switch the terminal from the non-anchor cell to the anchor cell.

[0065] Furthermore, when the second threshold of the anchor cell is configured to be greater than the second threshold of the non-anchor cell, the terminal camped on the non-anchor cell is more likely to meet the triggering condition of event B than the terminal camped on the anchor cell. Thus, after the terminal camped on the non-anchor cell reports event A, it is more likely to trigger the terminal to report event B, so that the network side can switch the terminal from the non-anchor cell to the anchor cell based on the events A and B reported by the terminal.

[0066] In addition, if the first network entity configures the first threshold of the anchor cell to be less than the second threshold of the non-anchor cell, it can avoid the terminal switching back to the non-anchor cell after switching from the non-anchor cell to the anchor cell because the first threshold of the anchor cell is greater than the second threshold of the non-anchor cell, thus preventing the terminal from switching back and forth between the anchor cell and the non-anchor cell multiple times.

[0067] In this embodiment, by using at least one of the above methods, the handover of the terminal from a non-anchor cell to an anchor cell can be made smoother, or the handover of the terminal from an anchor cell to a non-anchor cell can be made more difficult.

[0068] Firstly, to make the handover of a terminal from a non-anchor cell to an anchor cell smoother, the second threshold of the terminal residing in the non-anchor cell can be removed (that is, the second threshold of the non-anchor cell is set very high, such as -43dBm). In this way, as long as the triggering condition of event B is met (for example, when the signal strength of the neighboring anchor cell is higher than -105dBm), the handover to the anchor cell will be initiated immediately.

[0069] Furthermore, the second threshold for non-anchor cells can be set lower to facilitate an earlier handover to anchor cells.

[0070] Secondly, to make it more difficult for terminals to switch from anchor cells to non-anchor cells, the first threshold for terminals camped on anchor cells can be set lower to keep terminals camped on anchor cells as much as possible.

[0071] Furthermore, since both the second threshold for non-anchor cells and the first threshold for anchor cells can represent the strength of anchor cells, in applications, to make it more difficult for terminals to switch from anchor cells to non-anchor cells, both the second threshold for non-anchor cells and the first threshold for anchor cells can be set to be lower.

[0072] In practice, when the first threshold of the anchor cell and the second threshold of the non-anchor cell are reduced, there may be situations where the terminal performs multiple back-and-forth handovers (i.e., ping-pong handovers) between the anchor cell and the non-anchor cell. This will keep the terminal in the process of network handover and prevent it from transmitting service data.

[0073] For example: Figure 3a As shown, anchor point cell (e.g.) Figure 3a The first threshold A2 for outdoor anchor points in the F-band shown is -100dBm, and the second threshold A4 is -95dBm; for non-anchor point cells (such as...) Figure 3a The first threshold A51 of the E-band indoor station shown is -45dBm, and the second threshold A52 is -105dBm. This means the first threshold of -100dBm for the anchor cell is higher than the second threshold of -105dBm for the non-anchor cell. If the terminal's voltage level for the non-anchor cell is -90dBm and its voltage level for the anchor cell is -100dBm, it falls between the first and second thresholds for the non-anchor cell. Thus, when the terminal camps on the non-anchor cell, it will meet the trigger conditions for reporting events A and B, causing it to switch to the anchor cell. However, when the terminal switches to the anchor cell, it will again switch back to the non-anchor cell because it meets the trigger conditions for reporting events A and B. In other words, the terminal will continuously switch between the anchor cell and the non-anchor cell, making it unable to perform services.

[0074] To avoid the problem of terminals constantly switching between anchor cells and non-anchor cells, the first threshold of the anchor cell can be configured to be less than the second threshold of the non-anchor cell.

[0075] As an optional implementation, the first network entity configures the first cell and the second cell to have the same or different first thresholds, and / or configures the first cell and the second cell to have the same or different second thresholds, including:

[0076] The first network entity configures a first threshold for the anchor cell to be less than a first threshold for the non-anchor cell, and configures a second threshold for the non-anchor cell to be greater than both the first threshold for the non-anchor cell and the second threshold for the anchor cell.

[0077] In implementation, the first threshold of the anchor cell is relatively smaller than that of the non-anchor cell. However, the first threshold of the anchor cell cannot be lowered indefinitely to prevent all terminals from camping on the anchor cell if the first threshold is too low, causing carrier overload. For example, if the first threshold of the anchor cell is set to -130dBm, some terminals with poor signal quality to the anchor cell will also camp on that anchor cell.

[0078] For example: Figure 3b As shown, assume that the terminal is within the coverage area of ​​the F-band anchor base station and the D-band non-anchor base station, and the first threshold A51 of the F-band anchor base station is -110dBm, the second threshold A52 of the F-band anchor base station is -100dBm, the first threshold A51 of the D-band non-anchor base station is -43dBm, and the second threshold A52 of the D-band non-anchor base station is -105dBm. Thus, when a terminal is camped on a non-anchor base station in the D band, if the terminal's first signal strength to the D band non-anchor base station is -90dBm and its second signal strength to the F band anchor base station is -100dBm, the network side will switch the terminal from the D band non-anchor base station to the F band anchor base station. After the terminal switches to the F band anchor base station, since the signal strength to the F band anchor base station is -100dBm, which is greater than the first threshold of -110dBm for the F band anchor base station, the triggering condition of event A is not met, thus causing the terminal to camp on the F band anchor base station.

[0079] In this embodiment, the triggering conditions for the handover process from the terminal to the anchor cell can be reduced, making the handover from the non-anchor cell to the anchor cell smoother; and the triggering conditions for the handover process from the terminal to the non-anchor cell are increased, making the handover from the anchor cell to the non-anchor cell more difficult; in addition, by configuring the first threshold of the anchor cell to be less than the second threshold of the non-anchor cell, the terminal is prevented from constantly performing ping-pong handovers between the anchor cell and the non-anchor cell, thereby enabling the terminal to stay on the anchor cell more often.

[0080] In practical applications, in order to ensure that the first threshold of the anchor cell is less than the second threshold of the non-anchor cell, it is necessary to enable the anchor cell to know the second threshold of the non-anchor cell, or to enable the non-anchor cell to know the first threshold of the anchor cell.

[0081] In an optional implementation, the method further includes:

[0082] The first cell sends its first threshold and its second threshold to the second cell.

[0083] And / or,

[0084] The second cell sends its first threshold and second threshold to the first cell.

[0085] In some application scenarios, anchor cells and non-anchor cells are unaware of each other's first and second thresholds. For example, anchor cells and non-anchor cells may be cells from different manufacturers or different operators.

[0086] In practice, the configuration of the first and second thresholds can be exchanged between base stations through an interface (e.g., X2 interface).

[0087] In this embodiment, the process of the first cell sending a first threshold and a second threshold of the first cell to the second cell, and / or the second cell sending a first threshold and a second threshold of the second cell to the first cell, enables the first cell and the second cell to inform each other of their first and second thresholds, thereby allowing the other cell to adjust the first and second thresholds of the anchor cell and the non-anchor cell accordingly based on the first and second thresholds.

[0088] In this embodiment, when the first signal strength of the terminal's camping cell is less than the first threshold of the camping cell, the terminal reports event A to the network side; when the second signal strength of the terminal's neighboring cell is greater than the second threshold of the camping cell, the terminal reports event B to the network side. At this time, the network side will switch the terminal from the camping cell to the neighboring cell based on the reported events A and B. In this embodiment of the invention, the first network entity configures the first cell and the second cell to have the same or different first thresholds, and / or configures the first cell and the second cell to have the same or different second thresholds. This way, the terminal will preferentially camp on cells with smaller first thresholds and / or larger second thresholds. By adjusting the first and second thresholds of the first and second cells respectively through the first network, the terminal is more likely to camp on cells where events A and B are relatively easily triggered, thereby improving the targeting of the handover process.
