Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to an information processing method, apparatus, related equipment, storage medium, and computer program product. Background Technology

[0002] In indoor distributed networks (also known as indoor distributed systems), when there are no users indoors for a long time, turning off multiple radio frequency units (pRRUs) of the pico base station can significantly save power consumption by increasing the sleep time of the radio frequency units. This is especially true for indoor distributed network scenarios with obvious tidal patterns, such as office buildings and shopping malls.

[0003] In related technologies, the main method is to control the sleep mode of the radio frequency unit through sentinel-type pRRUs to achieve wake-up and sleep mode, thereby reducing the energy consumption of indoor pico base stations. Specifically, at least two pRRUs with frequent cell handover can be set as sentinel heads (also known as sentinel pRRUs), so that the selected at least two pRRUs are always in normal working state to detect object movement and connection status, while the remaining pRRUs are set as non-sentinel heads (also known as non-sentinel pRRUs), so that they are in sleep mode when there are no users and can be woken up by the sentinel heads.

[0004] However, the above scheme has the problem of non-sentinel heads being mistakenly awakened, which leads to an increase in the energy consumption of the pico base station. Summary of the Invention

In the above solution, by combining the Doppler frequency shift signal and the terminal's movement trend, the first unit can more accurately wake up the non-sentinel pRRU, reducing the probability of the non-sentinel pRRU being falsely woken up, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the pico base station.

[0077] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0078] The relevant wake-up scheme achieves wake-up through technologies such as Doppler frequency shift signal detection based on object movement, connected user count, and service detection. In the wake-up scheme based on Doppler frequency shift signal detection, there is a pair of sentinel pRRUs, specifically pRRU1 and pRRU2. pRRU1 is used to transmit detection signals, and pRRU2 is used to receive detection signals and forward the received detection signals to the BBU, enabling the BBU to perform radar-related processing. When a moving object (such as a terminal) is present within the service range of pRRU1, the BBU will detect the Doppler frequency shift signal and notify the non-sentinel pRRUs to wake up and enter normal working state. When a connected terminal is detected within the service range of pRRU1 and pRRU2, the non-sentinel pRRUs will also be woken up.

[0079] However, because the above scheme does not analyze the movement trend of objects, once a Doppler shift signal caused by object movement is detected, the BBU will immediately wake up the non-sentinel pRRU, regardless of whether the object is moving towards a non-sentinel area. This increases unnecessary wake-ups, leading to increased energy consumption of the pico base station in indoor distributed antenna systems (DAS) scenarios.

[0080] Based on this, in various embodiments of this application, in the scenario of indoor distributed networks, the BBU of the indoor pico base station uses a combination of Doppler frequency shift signal and terminal movement trend to determine whether to wake up the dormant non-sentinel pRRU. In this way, while ensuring terminal services, the probability of the radio frequency unit of the pico base station being falsely woken up can be reduced to reduce the energy consumption of the pico base station.

[0081] This application provides an information processing method, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method, applied to the first unit of a network device, includes:

[0082] Step 101: Upon detecting a first signal, receive first information sent by the second unit of the network device. The first signal is used to indicate that the terminal has moved in the first area corresponding to the second unit and / or the second area corresponding to the third unit. The second unit and the third unit are used for signal detection at least. The first information represents the first measurement result of the terminal on the second unit and the second measurement result of the third unit within a first time period.

[0083] Step 102: Using the first information, determine the second information, wherein the second information characterizes the movement trend of the terminal;

[0084] Step 103: Using the second information, determine one or more fourth units of the network device to be woken up, wherein the one or more fourth units are in a sleep state.

[0085] In practical applications, the network device may include a picocell base station. In the context of indoor distributed networks, the network device may be called an indoor picocell base station, and this embodiment does not limit this. Furthermore, the network device may include a first unit, a second unit, a third unit, and a fourth unit; wherein the first unit may include a BBU; the second and third units can be understood as a pair of sentinel pRRUs, capable of continuous operation; furthermore, the second and third units may appear in pairs, and the number may be one or more pairs, and this embodiment does not limit this; the fourth unit can be understood as a non-sentinel pRRU.

[0086] In practical applications, before step 101, the first unit can work with the second and third units to determine whether the first signal has been detected, thereby determining whether the terminal has moved. In practical applications, the terminal can be referred to as User Equipment (UE) or simply as a user; this embodiment does not limit this, as long as its function is implemented. The second unit is used to send the detection signal, the third unit is used to receive the detection signal, and the first unit is used to perform radar analysis based on the received detection signal to determine whether the first signal has been detected. Furthermore, the first signal can be called a Doppler frequency shift signal, which reflects the presence of a moving object in the first region and / or the second region. The first region can be understood as the service area of ​​the second unit, and the second region can be understood as the service area of ​​the third unit.

[0087] For example, assuming the terminal moves in the first area, after the second unit transmits a detection signal, the detection signal is reflected by the terminal and received by the third unit. Then, the third unit forwards the received detection signal to the first unit, so that the first unit performs radar processing and detects the first signal.

[0088] In practical applications, when the first signal is detected, the first unit can send a Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration message to the terminal through the second unit, enabling the terminal to measure and report on the second and third units.

[0089] Based on this, in one embodiment, before receiving the first information sent by the second unit of the network device, the method may further include:

[0090] A ninth message is sent to the second unit, the ninth message being used to instruct the terminal to perform measurements on the second unit and the third unit.

[0091] The ninth piece of information, referred to as an RRC reconfiguration message, may include a first identifier (also known as a first subcell identifier, or subCellId) and a second identifier. The first identifier indicates the first subcell corresponding to the second unit, and the second identifier indicates the second subcell corresponding to the third unit. This allows the terminal to distinguish the subcells corresponding to different units and perform measurements at the subcell level to obtain measurement results for different subcells. Additionally, the ninth piece of information may also include reporting periodicity information, enabling the terminal to periodically report measurement results based on this information.

[0092] In practical applications, when the terminal is in a connected state, it means that the terminal has established a first connection (also known as an RRC connection) with the second unit. At this time, the second unit can send the ninth information to the terminal through the first connection. Correspondingly, the terminal can measure the second unit and the third unit based on the ninth information to obtain the first information, and report the first information to the first unit through the second unit. The first measurement result represented by the first information includes the measurement quantity of the second unit (such as the reference signal received power (RSRP)), and the second measurement result includes the measurement quantity of the third unit.

[0093] For example, assuming there is a pair of sentinel pRRUs, namely pRRU1 (i.e., the second unit) and pRRU2 (i.e., the third unit), after the terminal completes the configuration and establishes the first connection based on the ninth information, it measures the Channel State Information (CSI)-Reference Signal (RS) of pRRU1 and pRRU2 respectively, and calculates the measurement results. Based on the first identifier and the second identifier, the measurement results are divided into the first measurement results and the second measurement results corresponding to different sub-cells. Then, based on the reporting period information, the measurement results are periodically reported to pRRU1, and pRRU1 forwards the measurement results to the BBU (i.e., the first unit).

[0094] In practical applications, after receiving the first information, the first unit can determine the working status of the terminal; when the terminal is in a normal working state, the first network element can determine the changing trend of the measurement results through the first information, and then determine the movement trend of the terminal.

[0095] Specifically, in one embodiment, the implementation of step 102 may include:

[0096] Using the first information, a third information is determined, wherein the third information characterizes the change of the first measurement result within the first time period;

[0097] Using the first information, fourth information is determined, wherein the fourth information characterizes the change of the second measurement result within the first time period;

[0098] The second information is obtained by using the third and fourth information.

[0099] In practical applications, before determining the working state of the terminal, the first unit can generate and dynamically maintain a terminal set (which can be represented as ConnectedMovingUEs) for terminals in the connected state based on the first information. The terminal set can reflect one or more terminals that are moving normally in the first area and in the connected state, as well as the first measurement result and the second measurement result corresponding to each terminal. The first measurement result can include the measurement quantity last reported by the second unit (which can be represented as V1). new ) and the measurement with the largest historical value (which can be represented as V1) max The second measurement result may include the measurement quantity last reported by the third unit (which may be represented as V2). new ) and the measurement with the largest historical value (which can be represented as V2) max The maximum number of terminals in the terminal set can be set to U.max That is, the first unit dynamically maintains the U in the first region. max The first and second measurement results corresponding to each terminal.

[0100] For example, assuming there are n terminals, the terminal set can be represented as:

[0101] ConnectedMovingUEs=[UE1:{RSRP1:V1 max V1 new}, {RSRP2:V2 max V2 new}];

[0102] UE2: {RSRP1:V1} max V1 new}, {RSRP2:V2 max V2 new}];

[0103] UEn:{RSRP1:V1 max V1 new}, {RSRP2:V2 max V2 new}]}.

[0104] In practical applications, the first unit can use the last reported measurement from the second unit to determine the working status of the terminal. If the last reported measurement from the second unit is less than or equal to a preset second threshold (the value can be set as needed, and this embodiment does not limit it), then the terminal is considered to have moved to an area outside the first area, i.e., left the first area. At this time, the first unit can remove the terminal from the terminal set. If the last reported measurement from the second unit is greater than the preset second threshold, then the terminal is considered to be in normal working condition within the first area.

[0105] Here, in the presence of a terminal in normal working condition, as the terminal moves, the first unit can further determine the area where the terminal is currently located.

[0106] Based on this, in one embodiment, before determining the third information using the first information, the method may further include:

[0107] Using the first information, the eighth information is determined, which characterizes the fourth measurement quantity in the second measurement result that is associated with the last measurement;

[0108] Using the eighth information, it is determined that the first condition is met, which indicates that the terminal has moved to a first sub-region in the second region where the signal quality is higher than a preset requirement.

[0109] The fourth measurement can be understood as the measurement reported by the third unit last time; the first sub-region can be understood as the region with poor signal quality in the second region (the second region may include regions with good signal quality, regions with moderate to poor signal quality, and regions with poor signal quality), such as the region at the edge of the cell.

[0110] In practical applications, after determining the fourth measurement quantity, the first unit can compare the fourth measurement quantity with a preset third threshold (the value can be set as needed, and this application embodiment does not limit this) to determine whether the terminal has moved to the first sub-region; if the fourth measurement quantity is greater than the third threshold, it means that the terminal has passed through the signal quality poor area in the first region and the second region and moved to the first sub-region; in this case, the first unit can calculate the change of the first measurement result within the first duration, where the first duration can be understood as the duration corresponding to the stage in which the terminal performs measurement reporting.

[0111] Specifically, in one embodiment, determining the third information using the first information includes:

[0112] Using the first information, the fifth and sixth information are determined, wherein the fifth information represents the first measurement quantity with the largest value in the first measurement result, and the sixth information represents the second measurement quantity in the first measurement result associated with the last measurement;

[0113] The third information is determined using the fifth and sixth information.

[0114] Wherein, the first measurement quantity can be understood as the measurement quantity with the largest historical value of the second unit, and the second measurement quantity can be understood as the measurement quantity reported by the second unit last time.

[0115] In practical applications, by performing difference processing on the first and second measurements, the first unit can obtain the change of the first measurement result within the first time period, i.e., the third information; wherein, the change of the first measurement result can be expressed as: △1 = V1 new -V1 max .

[0116] In addition, the first unit can also calculate the changes in the second measurement result within the first time period.

[0117] Specifically, in one embodiment, determining the fourth information using the first information includes:

[0118] Using the first information, the seventh and eighth information are determined, wherein the seventh information represents the third measurement quantity with the largest value in the second measurement result, and the eighth information represents the fourth measurement quantity in the second measurement result associated with the last measurement;

[0119] The fourth information is determined using the seventh and eighth information.

[0120] The third measurement can be understood as the measurement with the largest historical value of the third unit.

[0121] In practical applications, by performing difference processing on the third and fourth measurements, the first unit can obtain the change of the second measurement result within the first time period, i.e., the fourth information; wherein, the change of the second measurement result can be expressed as: △2=V2 new -V2 max .

[0122] In practical applications, after determining the changes in the first measurement result and the second measurement result respectively, the first unit can combine the changes in both to determine the movement area of ​​the terminal, i.e., the second information; when the change in the first measurement result is gradually increasing (which can be understood as △1>0) and the change in the second measurement result is gradually decreasing (which can be understood as △2<0), the first unit can determine that the movement trend of the terminal is moving from the second area to the first area.

[0123] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, suppose the first measurement result is increasing (△1>0) and the second measurement result is decreasing (△2<0); then, as the terminal moves, the first measurement result does not change (△1=0) and the second measurement result does not change (△2=0). At this time, it means that the terminal 1 has moved from P1 to P2 and left the range of the first area. In this case, the first unit can remove the terminal 1 from the terminal set.

[0124] In practical applications, when the change of the first measurement result is gradually decreasing (which can be understood as △1<0) and the change of the second measurement result is gradually increasing (which can be understood as △2>0), the first unit can determine that the movement trend of the terminal is moving from the first area to the second area.

[0125] For example, such as Figure 3As shown, assuming terminal 2 moves from P1 to P2, the first measurement result is decreasing (△1<0), and the second measurement result is increasing (△2>0). At this time, it means that terminal 2 is moving from P1 to P2 and gradually entering the second region.

[0126] Specifically, in one embodiment, the implementation of step 103 may include:

[0127] If the movement trend represented by the second information is that the terminal is moving from the first region to the second region, it is determined to wake up the one or more fourth units.

[0128] The one or more fourth units can be understood as the fourth units within the scope managed by the second unit and the third unit; the association between the second unit, the third unit and the fourth units is pre-configured, so the first unit can know which fourth units to wake up.

[0129] In practical applications, the first unit can wake up one or more fourth units through the second unit, allowing the fourth units to return to normal operation. Simultaneously, since the movement of the terminal triggered the wake-up of the fourth unit, the first unit can remove the terminal from the terminal set.

[0130] In addition, the first unit can also determine whether the terminal is in an abnormal working state based on multiple measurement results in the first measurement result; if the terminal is in an abnormal working state, the first unit can determine to wake up the one or more fourth units to ensure the terminal's services.

[0131] Based on this, in one embodiment, the method may further include:

[0132] Using the first information, determine whether the second condition is met. The second condition indicates that the cumulative measurement quantity of N measurements in the first measurement result is less than the first threshold, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

[0133] If the second condition is met, it is determined that the one or more fourth units will be woken up.

[0134] The value of the first threshold can be set as needed, and this application embodiment does not limit it.

[0135] In practical applications, if the cumulative N measurements in the first measurement result are all less than the first threshold, the first unit can determine that the terminal is in an abnormal working state. In this case, the terminal can be removed from the terminal set, and the one or more fourth units can be woken up to ensure the terminal's services.

[0136] It should be noted that in the New Radio (NR) interface, the terminal's state also includes an idle state and an inactive state. When the terminal is in an idle or inactive state, since the terminal has not established the first connection with the second unit, the second unit cannot directly detect the terminal in the idle or inactive state, making it impossible for the first unit to subsequently determine whether to wake up the one or more fourth units. To address this, the first unit can determine whether to wake up the one or more fourth units only after the second unit has established the first connection with the terminal.

[0137] Accordingly, embodiments of this application also provide an information processing method, applied to a second unit of a second network device, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0138] Step 401: Upon detecting a first signal, receive first information sent by the receiving terminal. The first signal is used to indicate that the terminal has moved in a first area corresponding to the second unit and / or a second area corresponding to the third unit. The second unit and the third unit are used for signal detection at least. The first information represents the first measurement result of the terminal on the second unit and the second measurement result of the third unit within a first time period. The first information is used to determine second information. The second information represents the movement trend of the terminal. The second information is used to determine to wake up one or more fourth units of the network device. The one or more fourth units are in a sleep state.

[0139] Step 402: Send first information to the first unit of the network device.

[0140] In practical applications, before step 401, the first unit can inform the terminal that a measurement is required through the second unit.

[0141] Based on this, in one embodiment, before the receiving terminal sends the first information, the method may further include:

[0142] The terminal receives a ninth message sent by the first unit, the ninth message being used to instruct the terminal to perform measurements on the second and third units;

[0143] The ninth message is sent to the terminal.

[0144] In practical applications, before sending the ninth information, the second unit needs to determine that the first connection has been established with the terminal so that the ninth information can be sent through the first connection.

[0145] Specifically, in one embodiment, sending the ninth information to the terminal includes:

[0146] If the third condition is met, the ninth information is sent to the terminal, wherein the third condition indicates that the terminal has established a first connection with the second unit.

[0147] Here, depending on the different states of the terminal, the second unit can use different methods to determine whether the third condition is met. The states of the terminal can include connected state, inactive state, and idle state.

[0148] Based on this, in one embodiment, the method may further include:

[0149] If the terminal is in a connected state, the third condition is determined to be satisfied.

[0150] In practical applications, when the terminal is in a connected state, it means that the terminal and the second unit have established the first connection. In this case, the second unit can determine that the third condition is met.

[0151] In practical applications, when the terminal is in an idle state, the second unit can determine whether the third condition is met based on the update status of the terminal's tracking area (TA) or registration area (RA).

[0152] Based on this, in one embodiment, the method may further include:

[0153] If the terminal is in an idle state and has initiated an update process for the tracking area or registration area, then the third condition is determined to be met.

[0154] In practical applications, when the terminal is in an idle state, if the terminal detects a change in its current TA or RA location, and the update of the TA or RA is not affected by other network devices due to the small planned range of the network device, then the terminal triggers the TA or RA update process. After completing the TA or RA update, the network device may not send the tenth information to the terminal, allowing the terminal to maintain the first connection so that the first unit can subsequently determine whether to wake up the one or more fourth units; wherein, the tenth information is used to indicate the release of the first connection.

[0155] In addition, if the TA or RA update will affect other network devices, the terminal will not trigger the TA or RA update process. In this case, the first unit can directly wake up the one or more fourth units.

[0156] It should be noted that the network device can determine whether the update of TA or RA will affect other network devices, for example, by using pre-configured information or by using the pRRU list it manages. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0157] In practical applications, when the terminal is in an inactive state, the second unit can determine whether the third condition is met based on the update status of the terminal's Radio Access Network Notification Area (RNA).

[0158] Based on this, in one embodiment, the method may further include:

[0159] If the terminal is inactive and initiates an update process for the radio access network notification area, then the third condition is determined to be met.

[0160] In practical applications, when the terminal is in an inactive state, if the terminal detects a change in the RNA at its current location, and the RNA update will not affect other network devices due to the small RNA range planned by the network device, then the terminal triggers the RNA update process. After the RNA update is completed, the network device can control the terminal to maintain the first connection so that the first unit can subsequently determine whether to wake up the one or more fourth units.

[0161] In addition, if the RNA update affects other network devices, the terminal will not trigger the RNA update process. In this case, the first unit can directly wake up the one or more fourth units.

[0162] It should be noted that the network device can determine whether the RNA update will affect other network devices, for example, by using pre-configured information or by using its own managed pRRU list. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0163] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, assuming there is a pair of sentinel pRRUs, namely pRRU1 (i.e., the second unit) and pRRU2 (i.e., the third unit), pRRU1 sends an RRC reconfiguration message (i.e., the ninth message) to UE3 so that terminal 3 can measure the RSRP of the two radio frequency units pRRU1 and pRRU2; accordingly, terminal 3 completes the configuration based on the RRC reconfiguration message and starts measuring the CSI-RS of pRRU1 and pRRU2, and then periodically reports the measurement results to pRRU1.

[0164] The information processing method provided in this application embodiment, when a first signal is detected, a first unit of a network device receives first information sent by a second unit of the network device. The first signal is used to indicate that a terminal has moved in a first area corresponding to the second unit and / or a second area corresponding to the third unit. The second unit and the third unit are at least used for signal detection. The first information represents the first measurement result of the terminal to the second unit and the second measurement result of the third unit within a first time period. Using the first information, second information is determined, which represents the movement trend of the terminal. Using the second information, one or more fourth units of the network device are determined to be awakened, and the one or more fourth units are in a dormant state. The technical solution provided in this application embodiment, when a Doppler frequency shift signal caused by terminal movement is detected, a first unit (e.g., BBU) determines the movement trend of the terminal based on the measurement results of the sentinel pRRU, and then determines whether to wake up a non-sentinel pRRU in a dormant state based on the movement trend of the terminal. In the above solution, by combining the Doppler frequency shift signal and the movement trend of the terminal, the first unit can more accurately wake up the non-sentinel pRRU, reducing the probability of the non-sentinel pRRU being falsely woken up, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the pico base station.

[0165] The following section provides a more detailed description of this application with reference to application examples.

[0166] In the application example of this application, for the scenario of detecting the movement of terminal equipment at the sentry head end of an indoor pico base station, a method combining Doppler frequency shift signal detection and terminal measurement of the RSRP change trend of the sentry pRRU is adopted to wake up the non-sentinel pRRU. Here, an indoor pico base station includes a pair of sentry pRRUs (pRRU1 and pRRU2) and non-sentinel pRRUs. pRRU2 can be set in the direction of the line connecting the areas of pRRU1 and the non-sentinel pRRU so that pRRU2 can better receive the detection signal. In addition, multiple pRRUs form a cell, and the UE can connect to multiple pRRUs at the same time, that is, multiple pRRUs can detect the UE.

[0167] Specifically, the process of an indoor pico base station waking up a non-sentinel pRRU is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0168] Step 601: The BBU (i.e., the first unit mentioned above) adjusts the sentinel pRRU1 (i.e., the second unit mentioned above) and pRRU2 (i.e., the third unit mentioned above) to be in working state, and the non-sentinel pRRU (i.e., the fourth unit mentioned above) to be in dormant state.

[0169] Step 602: The BBU detects the Doppler frequency shift signal (i.e., the first signal mentioned above);

[0170] Here, when a moving UE appears in the area between sentinels pRRU1 and pRRU2, the BBU is able to detect the Doppler shift signal.

[0171] Step 603: pRRU1 determines whether a UE exists within the service area (i.e., the first area mentioned above);

[0172] If a UE is present, proceed to step 604; otherwise, proceed to step 605.

[0173] Specifically, pRRU1 can determine whether it can detect the UE within the service range. When the UE is in a connected state, pRRU1 can detect the UE.

[0174] Step 604: pRRU1 sends an RRC reconfiguration message to the UE (i.e., the ninth message mentioned above);

[0175] Step 605: The UE periodically reports the RSRP measurement values ​​of the two sentinel pRRUs (i.e., the first information mentioned above) to the BBU through pRRU1;

[0176] Step 606: Based on the reported RSRP measurement values, the BBU records and updates the set of ConnectedMovingUEs (i.e., the terminal set mentioned above);

[0177] Each UE data in ConnectedMovingUEs contains the latest reported RSRP for pRRU1 and pRRU2, as well as the maximum RSRP.

[0178] Step 607: The BBU determines whether the latest RSRP reported by pRRU1 (i.e., the second measurement mentioned above) is greater than the threshold (i.e., the second threshold mentioned above);

[0179] If the latest RSRP reported by pRRU1 is greater than the threshold, then step 608 is executed; otherwise, step 613 is executed.

[0180] Step 608: count2 = count2 + 1;

[0181] Here, BBU records the number of times the RSRP1 update value is greater than the threshold.

[0182] Step 609: The BBU determines whether the latest RSRP reported by pRRU2 (i.e., the fourth measurement mentioned above) is greater than the threshold (i.e., the third threshold mentioned above).

[0183] If the latest RSRP reported by pRRU2 is greater than the threshold, it means that the UE has entered the near-field region of the sentinel pRRU2 signal, then step 610 is executed; otherwise, step 606 is executed.

[0184] Step 610: BBU determines whether △1<0 and △2>0;

[0185] If △1<0 and △2>0, it means that the UE is moving from sentinel pRRU1 to sentinel pRRU2. In this case, step 611 is executed; otherwise, step 606 is executed.

[0186] Step 611: The BBU removes the UE from ConnectedMovingUEs, and then performs step 612.

[0187] Step 612: The BBU wakes up the non-sentinel pRRU via pRRU1;

[0188] Here, if the user does not move or has no business needs within a specified time, the non-sentinel pRRU will switch from the working state to the dormant state.

[0189] Step 613: count1 = count1 + 1;

[0190] Here, BBU records the number of times the RSRP1 update value is less than or equal to the threshold.

[0191] Step 614: count1 is greater than the specified value (i.e., the second condition mentioned above);

[0192] If count1 is greater than the specified value, it means that the UE is a UE that is not working properly, and then step 615 is executed; otherwise, step 606 is executed.

[0193] Step 615: count2 > 0;

[0194] If count2>0, then step 611 is executed; otherwise, it means that the UE has left the service range of sentinel pRRU1, and then step 616 is executed.

[0195] Step 616: The BBU removes the UE from ConnectedMovingUEs;

[0196] Step 617: UE determines the change to TAC / RAC / RNA;

[0197] Step 618: The pico base station determines whether there is a UE-registered TAC / RAC / RNA;

[0198] If there is a UE-registered TAC / RAC / RNA, the UE triggers the update process, and then steps 619 are executed; otherwise, steps 612 are executed.

[0199] Step 619: The pico base station controls the UE not to release the RRC connection and executes step 604.

[0200] In the application example of this application, after detecting a Doppler frequency shift signal caused by object movement, the BBU monitors the RSRP values ​​of the two sentinel pRRUs measured by the UE, updates the latest and historical maximum RSRP values ​​of the two sentinel pRRUs at the same time in real time, and comprehensively judges the RSRP changes of the connected UE over a period of time, thereby judging the movement trend of the connected UE in real time. In this way, it can more accurately wake up the dormant pRRU, reduce the probability of the dormant pRRU being falsely woken up, and thus reduce the energy consumption of the indoor pico base station.

[0201] In addition, since multiple pRRUs in an indoor distributed antenna system form a cell, it is impossible to distinguish the RSRP changes of different pRRUs. By configuring pRRU identifiers for the UE through RRC reconfiguration messages, the UE can be divided into different logical sub-cells based on the pRRU identifiers to distinguish different headers, thereby calculating the RSRP results at the pRRU level.
