Embodiment
For making the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and the specific embodiments.
Basic thought of the present invention is: as UE resident or be moved into a macrocell after, set up the searching target tabulation earlier, CSG sub-district that searched before the tabulation of this searching target only comprises and that covered by current macrocell and the CSG sub-district that does not search before and can insert, and then by periodically traveling through the searching target tabulation, measure the CSG sub-district in the searching target tabulation scope, be implemented in interior search the CSG sub-district.
As shown in Figure 1, the present invention mainly may further comprise the steps:
Step 101, UE set up the searching target tabulation according to the search set of being set up for its each the CSG sub-district that can insert in advance, and wherein, described search set comprises the macrocell that covers corresponding CSG sub-district;
Here, described search set is that UE sets up according to the CSG white list that network provides, and described CSG white list comprises all UE and is authorized to the CSG sub-district that can insert; In that to set up search set fashionable, UE at first sets up corresponding search set merging for each the CSG sub-district on the CSG white list and is made as sky, the state information of search set is made as " no initializtion ", search each the CSG sub-district on the CSG white list then successively, if when searching energy measurement to and its signal strength signal intensity satisfy service request, its search set of macrocell list initialization that then enters this CSG sub-district and utilize to cover this CSG sub-district, and will search for the state information of gathering and be made as " initialization "; In addition, need to prove that described search set need be kept in the nonvolatile memory of UE, in order to avoid should search for the information dropout of set after the UE shutdown.
When setting up the searching target tabulation, all CSG sub-districts in the UE traversal CSG white list, if the state information of the search of described CSG sub-district set is for comprising the macrocell of current service in " initialization " and the search set, perhaps the state information of search set is " no initializtion ", then joins in the searching target tabulation.
Step 102, UE are by periodically measuring the CSG sub-district of searching in the described searching target tabulation.
In this step, periodically the method for measurement target CSG sub-district is a prior art, repeats no more herein.
For the better method of sending out explanation search of the present invention CSG sub-district, be described in detail with preferred embodiment below.
Fig. 2 is the schematic flow sheet of the embodiment one of the inventive method.As shown in Figure 2, embodiment one may further comprise the steps:
Step 201, UE take out a CSG sub-district as current candidate's searching target from the CSG white list that network provides.
Step 202, according to the state information of the search of described current candidate's searching target set, judge whether initialization of its search set, if then change step 203 over to, otherwise change step 204 over to.
Step 203, check that current macrocell is whether in the search set of described current candidate's searching target, if then change step 204 over to; Otherwise change step 205 over to.
Step 204, described current candidate's searching target is joined in the searching target tabulation.
Step 205, judge whether also have untreated CSG sub-district in the CSG white list, if having, then change step 206 over to, otherwise change step 207 over to.
Step 206, from the CSG white list, select a untreated CSG sub-district, jump to step 202 as current candidate's searching target.
Step 207, UE are by periodically measuring the CSG sub-district of searching in the searching target tabulation.
In the above-mentioned flow process, step 101 of the present invention has been realized in step 201~206, and step 207 has realized step 102 of the present invention.
As shown in Figure 3, the method that UE sets up the search set for its each the CSG sub-district that can insert in the present embodiment comprises:
Step 301, UE obtain the CSG sub-district that it can insert from the CSG white list that network provides, set up the search set merging respectively for them then and put sky, and the corresponding state information of each search set is made as " no initializtion ".
Step 302, UE search each the CSG sub-district that can insert in the pairing default initialization search area in each CSG sub-district, if the CSG cell signal strength that measures when searching satisfies service request, then enter this CSG sub-district and from internet message, obtain the macrocell tabulation that covers this CSG sub-district, utilize the search set of this CSG sub-district of described macrocell list initialization, and the state information updating that will search for set is " initialization ".
In actual applications, described default initialization search area can be made as in the TA scope at each place, CSG sub-district, also can be made as in all the TA scopes among the TA list that UE preserves., described internet message can be cell system broadcast message or special-purpose measurement control messages.
In actual applications, in order to adapt to the variation of network, the information old that the search of avoiding UE to preserve is gathered is guaranteed the accuracy that current search is gathered, and also needs in the following cases the search set to be upgraded accordingly:
When UE by start or initiate the sub-district gravity treatment or switching when entering a CSG sub-district, no matter described whether the state information of the search set of CSG sub-district correspondence initialization, all will utilize the macrocell tabulation of the described CSG of the covering of from network, obtaining sub-district, utilize the tabulation of described macrocell to reinitialize the search set of described CSG sub-district, and will search for the state information of gathering and be made as " initialization "; Here need to prove, in actual applications, an initialized minimum interval can also be set in advance, for the search set that had been initialised, when only once initialization time is greater than described minimum interval on distance, the renewal operation that just reinitializes is to avoid frequent unnecessary renewal.
Resident in a CSG sub-district time after UE Radio Link Failure takes place and carries out cell update, and resident is a macrocell before, and this method further comprises: described macrocell is joined in the search set of described CSG sub-district;
When UE enters a macrocell from a CSG sub-district by sub-district gravity treatment or switching, and described macrocell joins described macrocell in the search set of described CSG sub-district not in the search set of described CSG sub-district the time;
When UE carries out the CSG cell search in a macrocell, the Home eNodeB of learning the described CSG of service sub-district from internet message is not in this macrocell coverage area, sky is put in the search of described CSG sub-district set, and will search for the state information of gathering and be made as " no initializtion ";
In actual applications, when the UE under being in connection status carries out the CSG cell search in a macrocell, need measure scheduling interval to network requests for searching target CSG sub-district.At this moment, if serve the Home eNB not in the overlay area (its reason may be that Home eNB has changed the position, closed power supply or fault etc. has taken place) that this CSG sub-district of service has been known in the base station of current macrocell, then need the internet message that carries distinctive mark or special spacing value by one, indication UE does not need to measure this CSG sub-district.After UE receives this internet message, the search of this target CS G sub-district set need be put sky, and will search for the state information of gathering and be made as " no initializtion ".
In addition, need in the following cases search set and searching target tabulation are upgraded accordingly:
When UE learns according to internet message when having increased new CSG sub-district on the described CSG white list, set up search set for described new CSG sub-district and merge and put sky, and will search for the state information of gathering and be made as " no initializtion "; Afterwards, tabulation is upgraded to searching target, increases described new CSG sub-district;
When UE learns according to internet message when having deleted the CSG sub-district on the described CSG white list, in UE, discharge the search set of deleted CSG sub-district, afterwards, if deleted CSG sub-district is contained in the searching target tabulation, then tabulation is upgraded to searching target, removes described CSG sub-district.
In actual applications, above-mentioned searching target is tabulated upgraded accordingly, can also can realize by the mode that directly increases accordingly or delete that searching target is tabulated by rebuliding the mode of searching target tabulation.
At said method, the invention allows for the equipment of a kind of CSG of search sub-district, as shown in Figure 4, this equipment comprises:
Search aggregation units 401 is used to store the search set of the CSG sub-district that all UE can insert and the state information of search set;
Search set administrative unit 402 is used to each the CSG sub-district that can insert to set up the search set, and described search set comprises the macrocell that covers corresponding CSG sub-district;
Searching target list cell 403 is used to store the searching target tabulation;
Searching target list management unit 404, the search set that is used for the CSG sub-district that can insert according to all UE is built upright searching target tabulation jointly; After finishing, searching target tabulation foundation triggers the execution of searching unit 405.
Search unit 405, be used for by periodically measuring the CSG sub-district of searching the searching target tabulation.
In actual applications, described search set administrative unit 402 is further used for when UE enters a CSG sub-district by start or initiation sub-district gravity treatment or switching, from network, obtain the macrocell tabulation that covers described CSG sub-district, utilize the tabulation of described macrocell to reinitialize the search set of described CSG sub-district, and will search for the state information of gathering and be made as " initialization ";
Be used for after UE Radio Link Failure takes place and carries out cell update residently, and when resident is a macrocell before, described macrocell joined in the search set of described CSG sub-district to a CSG sub-district;
Be used for entering a macrocell from a CSG sub-district by sub-district gravity treatment or switching as UE, and described macrocell joins described macrocell in the search set of described CSG sub-district not in the search set of described CSG sub-district the time;
Be used for when UE carries out the CSG cell search, the Home eNodeB of learning service described CSG sub-district from internet message not in this macrocell scope, is put sky with the search set of described CSG sub-district, and will search for the state information of gathering and be made as " no initializtion ";
Be used for learning according to internet message when having increased new CSG sub-district on the described CSG white list, set up search set for described new CSG sub-district and merge and put sky, and will search for the state information of gathering and be made as " no initializtion " as UE; Afterwards, set rebulids the searching target tabulation or directly increases described new CSG sub-district in the searching target tabulation according to current search to trigger searching target list management unit 404;
Be used for learning according to internet message when having deleted the CSG sub-district on the described CSG white list as UE, discharge the state information of the search set and the search set of deleted CSG sub-district, afterwards, set rebulids the searching target tabulation or directly removes described CSG sub-district from the searching target tabulation according to current search to trigger searching target list management unit 404.
Accordingly, described searching target list management unit 404 is further used for that indication according to search set administrative unit 402 increases or the CSG sub-district of deletion appointment in the searching target tabulation, and after trigger the execution of search unit 405.
By the employing technique scheme, the present invention sets up the search set by each the CSG sub-district that can insert for UE in advance, and feasible search area to each CSG sub-district is confined to search for limited macrocell in the set, and no longer is the network range of TA level; In addition, when residing at a macrocell, UE builds upright searching target tabulation jointly according to search set again, make UE in this macrocell, only search CSG sub-district in the searching target tabulation, ignore those not CSG sub-districts in the searching target tabulation, make search more targeted.Adopt the present invention, can reduce unnecessary search task, thereby can effectively improve searching efficiency, reduce the meaningless consumption of UE battery the CSG sub-district.
In sum, more than be preferred embodiment of the present invention only, be not to be used to limit protection scope of the present invention.Within the spirit and principles in the present invention all, any modification of being done, be equal to replacement, improvement etc., all should be included within protection scope of the present invention.
